How to Crack the Coding Interview: Skills and Strategies for Software Engineers and PMs

Speaker: Gayle Laakmann McDowell, Founder / CEO of CareerCup.com and Author of Cracking the Coding Interview, Cracking the PM Interview, and The Google Resume.

Topic: CS interviews are a different breed from other interviews and, as such, require specialized skills and techniques. This talk will teach you how to prepare for coding and PM interviews, what top companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft really look for, and how to tackle the toughest programming and algorithm problems. This is not a fluffy be-your-best talk; it is deeply technical and will discuss specific algorithm and data structure topics.

Signed copies of McDowell's Cracking the Coding Interview and Cracking the PM Interview will be on sale after the talk. Cracking the Coding Interview is the #1 interview prep book for software engineers and Cracking the PM Interview serves the same purpose, but for product managers. The Google Resume is a broader book to teach people what they need to do to position themselves for a tech job, starting from early in college up through the offer and job performance itself. Bio:
