Self-Writer: Coding Challenge
Ed Sullivan's coding challenge
In his new book, Under Pressure and On Time, Ed Sullivan reports that NuMega had a standard coding test for applicants:
For years, we gave the same programming test to every developer. It was a straightforward test that required no setup or external knowledge from manuals. The candidates were asked to write a program that could print its source to the screen exactly, without performing any file input.
Well, I've done this before, but it was a long time ago, so why don't we give this a whirl?
I have posted my C# Solution at http://dotnetweblogs.com/Whaggard/Story/3638.aspx, but before you look at my solution you should spend a little time to try and figure it out on your own. It really is quite interesting.
