Algorithms & Interview Prep

Thanks to our host Stack Exchange (http://stackexchange.com/) for providing the space, food, and beverages.

Co-founded by Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood, Stack Exchange is a fast-growing network of 127 question-and-answer sites, including the largest online community for software developers, Stack Overflow. With more than 50 million monthly visitors around the globe and a diverse range of topics from cooking to photography and graphic design, Stack Exchange provides experts with the tools they need to make the Internet a better place.

This monthly meetup covers algorithms and other interview questions. We'll split attendees into two main groups:

Whiteboarding skills
You'll solve algorithms in small groups.

Common interview questions
You'll pair with another member and practice answering common interview questions, both technical and non-technical.

Our host will give a short talk about their interview process.

We recommend creating accounts on either http://jsbin.com/ or http://codepen.io/ , to give you a place to practice your algorithms problem-solving skills.

This event is intended for women with programming experience.
