C/C++
In my preparation plan for a very imporant job role I’m applying to these days, I have C and C++ revision in it.
I’d an interview a couple of days ago in C++ and it turned out that I don’t remember almost anything! that’s because the last time I used C++ intensively were on 2001 when I worked on Al Natoor and 7ares applications based on MFC and VC++ 6.0.
Since then I used C++ lightly and what I do remember much more is C and specially GNU C, anyway it seems that I’m getting back to the low-level programming again after spending some time doing high-level coding using .NET and J2EE.
Two years ago I launched exciting courses that I loved and I wanted to use them intensively but I didn’t have the change to even develop myself in. Those courses were “The Linux Kernel Internals”, “Linux Programming Essentials” and “Device Drivers Programming”, they gave me a very very good deep introduction about the kernel internals and at then I would speak the kernel language, but now I forgot most of stuff.
I believe I’ve a very bad memory, but what I’m good at is finding the right information in the most efficient way, so I don’t take much time getting a piece of information back. I’m trying now to revive those experiences and try to prove that I was C/C++ expert in a very very short time. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to do that or not, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
When I started revision yesterday I discovered how bad I was in the last interview!, If I were in place of the interviewer I’d say (The interviewer) that I suck!
Let’s hope the second international interview would be better

isA it will be great
the first time was a surprise when they interviewed you in C/C++ as u didn’t know even what’re u applying for yet.
I know you the best, and you’ll be able isA to review and recall ur professional experience in these languages.
no matter how short time you’ve till the next interview, u’ll astonish them this time, cuz u’ll be very well prepared for what they need and more.
You always dreamed and wished to work in the low-level programming, it’s one of your dreams, and u’ll do what it takes to make it come true
Good luck in the preparing, and i’ll make sure to set the perfect atmosphere 4 it
I’m very excited for you, and isA the interview will be perfect.

well, it turned out that it’s postponed, and I’ve a java interview soon! so I don’t think I need anytime to remember java anyway.
I didn’t actually decide wether I’ll move to that company or not, but anyway I hope the interview goes well…
