Funny I happen to be looking for a new job right now and have run into the programming challenge just last week. In my case I passed and now tomorrow I have my next interview with the them. This time I'm doing a web-ex with two developers who want to talk shop and take a peak at a 'recent side project'. I work with 10 other programmers and none of them have side projects to show; fortunately I have a few including one that makes a little bit of money. Should be fine but you never know what kind of random stuff they toss out and expect you to know. Before this one I had a company ask me to write a sample iOS app with a list of data + a second page with specific validation rules for the form. I wrote that 3 weekends ago and sent it in, still haven't heard back from them, I guess they get 100's of applicants a week (it's a full remote job).
