Re:Effective Whiteboarding during Programming Interviews on Thursday April 10, 2014 @08:25PM (#7570550)
It has become the quick way for validating whether a candidate is suitable for the job or not. Some companies now go for tech-screens where they'll send you a problem to solve on the computer, but that's rare.

When a candidate is solving a problem on the whiteboard, an experienced interviewer can make a good judgement. In my experience, anyone who's a good developer does well on the whiteboard. However, the inverse is not always true.

Can't agree more. Going to a programming interview without practicing on the white board is pointless. You're setting yourself up for a failure.

According to androidpit, they need course location. Not sure how they got this info though.

android.permission.ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION

*On the permissions page, it says 'fine location as well'

Looks neat. I'd buy if it doesn't require internet. Does anyone know if internet is needed to run the app or you can read offline?
