Few days ago I met old friend of mine who continues to work in one of the companies that I’ve worked for. For some time now they are looking for Delphi and C# developers and are looking for problem solving nature of a candidate. I have told him a while “Hey bro, you do have white board in the room, make them draw something, a house for example”.
Now one would say “This is stupid idea”. Well it is not. Look on the bright side. In the room you have the “client”, and you have the developer. Then the approach of the new hire to the “problem” is very important. Do not judge him by what he will draw on the white board but for what he will ask you for the problem, cause “Draw me a house” is very general task. And you do not want a developer, who will write bunch of code, which is completely irrelevant for the task.
So my friend actually implemented this tactics and had very good results. He was able to see right away what is the approach of the candidates to a problem. And eventually pick the one he liked most.
And here is another article that actually made me write this post. I find it very inspiring as I find that my heretic ideas are actually good.
Happy … hiring

Take your time with this if you are public speaker and even if you are not it is still interesting. At least it was for me.
Another thing you may want to take a look is Garr Reynold’s blog at www.presentationzen.com
Today a new hire in my company asked “What is CRUD?”, as we used that word a lot.
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete and is basically used in data access layers, operations against the database, etc.
Find more complete explanation here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delete
When you work woth connection strings it is likely that at some point you get this error.
“Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.”
The cause of the error may one of the following.
A good practice is to place all your connection strings in config file and reference then using System.Configuration classes.
simple as this
string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connectionString1"].ConnectionString;
You will have to add reference to the project and then using statement to System.Configuration.
Happy coding
