Data structures and algorithms I actually used while working at tech companies
I'm surprised that you didn't recommend Knuth as the best reference for algorithms.Technical interviewing for long term employees based on exam essay like questions is rarely productive. My first objective is determining the applicant's honesty on their prior experience. It is amazing that the vast majority of applicants will out right lie on their resumes and to your face when questioned.Past success in solving/implementing difficult projects is the best indicator of future success.
