C# and Stuff Study Guide!
I made a study guide for keeping up to date, for students / beginners, and for those who want a guide to brush up on topics for interviews. As a long time med student.. I like to know there is somewhat of a limitation to "everything" you need to know as a foundation in order to be ready for almost any job. I tried to make this guide exactly that. Of course, you will need additional skills / libraries.. but this is the basic core and I would assume if you knew all (*by know, I mean understand AND be able to implement AND explain well during an interview) of this you could get a job and succeed. This is most up to date as of February 2017.. as tech goes, things will change slightly over time and new things will be added that will not be on this sheet. I made a similar post before when this guide was around 20-30 pages and it has since grown.
Keep in mind: I am a C# web developer. I included heavy C# (~60% of the guide), design patterns / lower level JIT compiler / garbage collection / boxing / unboxing type info (~20% of the guide). I have JavaScript and SQL info on here (~10% of the guide). I have random general stuff you just should know which is the last bit. I did not cover algorithms, data structures, or C++.. I honestly haven't needed it for a web development career. I did not cover Java, WPF, desktop/mobile application type things.
One more note: Interviews vary A LOT. This guide would have been immensely helpful for my first 4 jobs. If I had known all of this, I would have aced them all with maybe one or two things missed.. if that. This guide was not the least bit helpful for my current position at Microsoft which aimed thinking questions that you cannot find online that were tailored to my experience and my resume. You should always know everything on your resume, be able to explain it, and be able to explain why a technology was used (versus a competing one plus why it suits your companies needs well). You should also be able to answer any questions about how to implement new features into your working environment, understand why/how things are done now, and how they could be done better.
My approximately all-inclusive study guide is hosted on my Google Docs (it's a .docx file) because it is too large to share on a blog post:
