I think that something that should be mentioned that these coding challenges are the norm for hiring out of college. It doesn't matter (at 90% of companies, from personal applications) that you have a resume/portfolio of cool and interesting project/experience. All companies count on this coding interview to screen you. Some companies give you rather outlandish questions to screen you on the first try. My cool personal projects have never been mentioned by a interviewer.

I wasn't suggesting doing projects in order to talk about them at an interview (though if you can, then great!), but more about selecting challenging projects that give you more of a brain workout. I have found this more effective preparation for interview questions than just running through practice questions.
