While checking out the computer reference section at Borders over the weekend, I saw a book called Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job. Although I have absolutely no intention of interviewing for a programming job, I thought it might be a worthwhile book to pick up.

The first chapter covers the application process, so I can ignore that one. The next chapter covers different approaches to solving programming problems. Subsequent chapters cover various fundamentals of programming (e.g. linked lists, trees, arrays and strings, recursion, etc.). After that, there are two chapters of programming puzzles, and then two final chapters of general programming knowledge questions and answers.

I think this might be a very handy book to get me up to speed with “real” programming in a short amount of time.

Decent reviews on Amazon so far… hopefully I’ll agree after I’ve had a chance to read through the book.
