]]> Comment on Some basic (but effective) .NET interview questions by Paul Hyman http://www.buunguyen.net/blog/some-basic-but-effective-net-interview-questions.html#comment-41544 Paul Hyman Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:32:22 +0000 http://www.buunguyen.net/blog/some-basic-but-effective-net-interview-questions.html#comment-41544 Here's an interview technique no one that I know of has ever tried, but which I think would be very good at determining how much an asp.net developer knows. Simply give the person a listing of an .aspx file from a web site and ask him or her to go line by line and explain everything they can. They don't have to figure out what it's doing, just show that they're familiar with the various server controls, html statements, etc. If you wanted to test someone's C# knowledge, hand them some code and ask them to tell you whatever they can. Again, they don't need to figure out what it's doing - the idea is by them describing whatever they can about the code, you get a good idea of what they know.

Thanks for posting this, for now 8/2008 (your post was in 2/2007), I think QC has their own position in Vietnamese software industry. Furthermore, LTRC, a world-class testing company, has announced their project going to build a "testing park" with 30.000 m2 right inside HCMC (see link here: http://www.pkduong.net/2008/08/ltrc-ln-bo.html) Hi, it’s interesting to go over this discussion. why? because i am a tester, a QC as you called us in this entry.

(How about "Not-invented-here architects"?) Talking about the good architect, I think a person who exposes exactly one of these behaviors is bad enough, less 5 of them... (Imaging having an architect who never cares to listen to his subordinates and is only good at drawing UML diagrams in your team. Yes, I knew no less than one such architect.) The good architect, IMO, is the one who does not go to any of these extremes, i.e. technically competent yet know to listen, staying on top of techs yet not fooled by hypes... I'm glad you find by blog interesting! @HuyHM:

By this post, I wonder how to become a good architecture. And when i read all comments, and in my own opinion: a good architecture is a man have all 5 above attributes. When I were young, I was interested in Doreamon comic, i remember the story: "Nobita dream to be a handsome man, and doreamon help him with a special toy. But when Nobita want to be handsome, he must loose something for that : his health, his clever ...". So, in this case, I imagine that when you have 100 coins ( of course, better architect will have more coins :D), and you have to fill in 5 bottles. All of these bottles are required for a good architure, so when you fill all coins in one, you can't be a good. But when you lack one of them, you still a poor one. Besides, I want to talk about another kind of architecture ( not good , not bad one, but interesting). I call these "Home-made" architectures. These man love technologies, reading much and find out other frameworks are not suit for him, and he build another one for him ( in some words, he like to "reinvent the wheel"). For example, when using .NET, you known that XMl Serializer is built-in. But after using it, he decide to develop another.Now, his Xml Serializer is faster 3x than .NET, and file size is 2x smaller. PS: Mr Buu, thanks for your blog, there are many interesting posts here. This post is interested.
