Ask HN: What book you used to prepare for a technical interview?

Hello fellow HNers.

(Reposting again, hopefully I will get responses this time)

I'm trying to prepare for an eventual technical interview for a programming job. Rather than aimlessly searching for a book to help me do that I would like to know which book you guys used to help you land your next job. If instead you used a site or other resources, that would also be useful information.

I think it would be useful to know the name of the company where you got hired to see if a pattern emerges.

I'm asking this specifically for myself but I'm sure that this info could be useful to other people in the same situation.



It depends on what you're studying for. For my Ruby on Rails position, I revised my Ruby with two books I can't recall right now, but then I spent so much time on codewars.com, because I knew I was going to get tested.

Could you share doctrine specifics about your interview? What stack do you work with?
