BenjaminRH··on Jack Of No Trade
> I'll admit I'm a little confused, as my entry-level interviews never involved any questions about language or API trivia. If I had to write code, I could do it in any language I wanted and was comfortable with. And sometimes I wouldn't even have to write code, just discuss a problem and potential approaches. The solutions would never depend on library-specific knowledge.

Then you were lucky. A lot of interviewers can't get that far.
