About the Book
Like traffic jams, whiteboard interviews are an annoying fact of life that get in the way of where you want to go as a developer. It's a bad way to evaluate programmer skill and is used across the industry, mostly with the mistaken belief that it is a good way to actually evaluate someone's development skill. In this book we discuss how things got to this dreadful state, and how you can take advantage of that to ace the interview any way. When you face the whiteboard at a development interview, there are a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) things you can do to make sure that you stand out as the best candidate, and this books explains the how and the why of them.
