Audience: Computer science undergraduate students who are looking to excel in their technical internship interviews

Context: Many computer science students apply for summer internships and are able to get interview opportunities with companies but do not know how to start preparing for the technical programming interview. These students may also, at first, not know what to prioritize during the interview.

Purpose: To inform these computer science students how they should be preparing for these technical programming interviews, what resources are extremely helpful for the interviews, and how to behave during the interview to maximize chances for success.

Document Type: An informative guide for different aspects of succeeding in programming interviews. (This guide would be a mix of directions, explanations, and information all compiled together)

Design/Format: The guide will start with a few resources that can be used for preparing and that will be alluded to throughout the rest of the guide. The next portion will be a overarching description of how one should be using the resources to prepare for the interview in direction format. Then the issue will be broken down into sections for specific types of programming problems that can be asked in the interview and how to best handle each of them. Finally, the end of the guide will have tips and tricks for how to behave during the interview to maximize chance for success.

Citation Style: Mostly a combination of referral links and natural language citation

K, really IMPORTANT! How will you share this guide? Do you have a GitHub site?

Now, you will be curating wisdom and advise from a number of places. Almost NONE of this will be in traditional peer reviewed sources. Wired and CNet might be helpful as industry publications. But, also, GitHub and list serves.

Another category would be what the big tech firms say about themselves.

Finally, can you find blogs or personal experience?

Looking forward to this!
