I just realized that the next would be the 9th International Workshop on
Plan 9.  I wonder where it will be.

Makes sense. It's bankrupt, just like the people who destroyed the Labs.

[9fans] Job interview questions

[Andrew Simmons]

I’ve just been asked to respond to the following. Apart from number 8, where the answer is clearly “because they are clinically insane”, I am at a loss. Any hints from the group?

1)           What is the base object in .Net
2)           Which version of Asp.Net MVC have you used
3)           Explain MVC in general
4)           Which version of the .Net are you most familiar with
5)           Explain why you would use an outer join vs an inner join
6)           Can you explain the request Flow in Asp.Net MVC
7)           Explain Dependency Injection
8)           Why would a developer choose to use EF
9)           What is the difference between Javascript and jQuery
10)         What are extensions methods
11)         What source control systems have you used
12)         Have you gathered systems requirements from clients? If so, please give some details

Happy to help.

Despair.

The wrong one.

> 3)           Explain MVC in general

The 'model' is your database connection.  This never works.  The 'view'
is what displays error messages to the user.  The 'controller' is what
allows the user to send injection attacks to your datastore.

> 4)           Which version of the .Net are you most familiar with

3.5, unless your organization has money, in which case 4.5 and above.

> 5)           Explain why you would use an outer join vs an inner join

An outer join is used when you don't clearly understand your search
algorithm.  An inner join is used when you got your data structures
wrong.

> 6)           Can you explain the request Flow in Asp.Net MVC

Sure!  It goes like this:  request-> collection -> base -> handlergetter
-> handler -> controllerfactory -> controller -> actionrunner -> filter
-> action -> result -> exception -> 500 error.

> 7)           Explain Dependency Injection

This is what we call passing arguments.  

> 8)           Why would a developer choose to use EF

So that we don't have to know how to look up the arguments we want to
pass.  

> 9)           What is the difference between Javascript and jQuery

Nothing.  There is no such thing as javascript; it is an archaic term
for jquery, which is now known as react.

> 10)         What are extensions methods

These used to be called 'functions' but that term has been deprecated
both because procedural programming is for squares and those functional
programming kids keep overloading terminology.

> 11)         What source control systems have you used

Is this a trick question?  Or are you considering 'github' and 'git' to
be different things?  I don't understand what you are asking.

> 12)         Have you gathered systems requirements from clients? If so, please give some details

Clients are the wrong place to gather systems requirements.  Attempting
to interact with clients for any amount of time quickly leads to
injection dependency.  The proper place to gather systems requirements
is the project budget comptroller (to determine scale) and the executive
vice president of sales (to determine scope).

Fingers crossed for the followup interview!

In the newer ASP.NET Core, they've ramped it up by extensive use of
reflection, so your program ends up trapped in a hall of mirrors,
and you've no idea who calls anything, with what, when, and why.

LMAO.  That's not just funny - it's smart-funny.  Perfect!

Come to think of it... if Andrew actually submitted those as answers to
the questions, it would certainly get the recruiter's attention.
Whether that would work for him, or against him, depends on the
particular circumstances.

The correct answer is "Is that an African or an English MVC flow?" (the
point being that it changed significantly between ASP.NET MVC 5 and the
 replacement ASP.NET Core MVC)

It's funny about JavaScript. (Never mind jQuery.) Given the heart-thumping
power of even modern little devices, there's no reason whatsoever why they
couldn't implement proper concurrent programming in a modern browser. On
the server, people still fuss about the number of processes, and devise
clever hacks like async/await in C#, because servers might have to deal
with many millions of  incoming connections given poor session management.
On the client, though? No. Still, although browsers have expanded beyond
the traditional dreams of avarice, they still can't do basic multiplexing
well.

except when the server is nodejs running javascript.
