I think these are applicable to any engineering interview. The key to every tech interview is most of the time is less about your actual answer but how you get there. If you code something that clearly would never work in any language, you

Mastering the top 10 of the OWASP is important. Those are trivial but are important to keep in mind when working on the web. The next thing you can do is ensure that keep everything locked down and open up only what you need. This means tha

People forget how quick it can be to get the tools to do simple things like SQL Injection and XSS without even trying. They are free and EXTREMELY easy to get. Not covering those basic security flaws will allow any "script kiddies" to get i

Schizo, We will not violate patents until it is complete. Once we label as a complete product, and not just a "Proof of Concept", it will infringe on a patent. However, we do plan on doing a pivot and changing the design once we figure out

My previous reply was bad, and for that I apologize. Yes, use application keys for your services/controller to make sure that it indeed an app. This prevents session spoofing and CSRF. Rails does this automatically, so do a lot of other fra

Since this is my specialty, I figured I'd put my 2cents in on hacker news, and repost it on stack overflow later. So to begin some tools that you should use for testing your code: Burp tool suite (Pen Testing) BackTrack Linux Distro (has al

To me, it's less about the actual memorization and more about the effort shown to actual memorize them. My job isn't hard to do (trust me), its not designing anything complicated, so if you show effort and willingness to learn things (or at

I work in the enterprise where for the most part people I interview can't explain things like polymorphism, which is sad. I once interviewed a fellow with his PhD in Comp Sci who couldn't explain simple theory based things such as graphs or

Awesome, well I plan on bringing a car if I'm accepted so whomever lives with me will have transportation when I'm available. Good idea on getting more than one, I think this can be profitable for you (if you are looking for that ) as well

This is a fantastic idea. I signed up for Ycombinator and since I'm moving from Ohio, wasn't sure where I would be able to find housing. This solves that problem. Im not sure how competitive it will be able to get into the "house", but hope

Who says I'm not Cinderella. I agree with you, I have a plan that will get me out of here as soon as possible. I am working on a product that I will launch (with or without Ycombinator's help) by the end of Summer (sooner if I can wrangle i

I think similar to C# where the primitives are objects is what they want, terribly misleading title I agree. However, I cringe when I think of what this does to performance. The memory overhead of objects in java is pretty high (relative)
