I am with a public university and asked to interview applicants with Coldfusion(CF) and Flex skills for an opening. The position requires someone who has worked 3-4 years in CF and Flex.
I was moved into this position and I picked CF/Flex after I started so do not have a first hand experience of a CF/Flex interview, though a Web search reveals dozens of websites with questions. I have worked with Coldfusion 8 and 9 and I know I can ask questions about following topics. 1. Check for CF basic understanding, ask about functions which are rarely used to test depth of knowledge in CF. 2. Ask about CFC, Bean, Gateway to test OOP understanding in CF 3. How the facade pattern is used in CF? 4. Recent CF projects of candidate. Question the design, implementation decisions and possible performance improvements in the projects 5. Ask them to develop a Bean on whiteboard. 6. Contributions to an open source CF project Since the opening expects someone with a Bachelor's in Computer Science, I can ask the typical questions(algorithms, data structures, design patterns, OOP, contract by design, agile programming concepts, Operating System and Networking concepts, information security, bit fiddling in C, RTTI idiom in C++ assuming candidate lists C,C++ on his resume). I realize a Web search can reveal lot more questions, but since I have not interviewed someone for a CF background before, I want to know if items 1-6 listed above are sufficient or do they need more additions? Are they too simple that most people who have worked 12-18 months in CF would know? I do not want to make the interview unduly hard or easy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks P.S. I went through the usual books Career cup, Programming Interviews exposed and their websites to learn how interviews are done in most places today. ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
