Nail Your C# Interview

Course details

Applying for C# programming jobs? Learn the programming and non-technical skills needed to land a C# developer position in this course with software developer Kathryn Hodge. Kathryn begins with some software development interview basics that will describe what the interview process is like. Then, Kathryn dives deeper into some questions and topics that relate specifically to the C# programming language. In addition to general C# questions, many software development interviews require a whiteboard coding portion. The rest of the course is devoted to reviewing string manipulation, data structures, and object-oriented concepts that are often used in the solutions to these questions. Each data structure is reviewed and followed by a practice coding question and solution, so you can test your knowledge as you go along.
