The Art of Ruby Technical Interviews

Talkat RubyConf 2015 · 2015-11-15..11-17· [ruby]
slides:none on file

Recommends building a passion project (example: a Magic the Gathering site), pushing code to GitHub and deploy to Heroku, and pulling in real gems like Devise so interviewers can inspect working code. Advises contributing docs to open source, practicing whiteboard problems and domain modeling, and studying Enumerable and ActiveRecord basics — learn .each .map .inject — plus knowing web request/response, common algorithm techniques (BUD), and having a thoughtful editor and question list.
