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. =20 > 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. =20 > 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! khm
