Interview Tips Interview Tips, Interview Questions and Answers

First things first. Do they even know what MVC. Not just the TAL but can they describe it to you. Then what are the benefits. Also it doesn't hurt to ask them their opinion on it. It is good to know if they even like MVC frameworks.

Next, ask them if they have used any other MVC frameworks. Struts, Spring MVC, Zend or anything like that.

Ask them if they know when a session starts, the general state problem on the net etc etc.

Also a little bit of database. Ask them if they have any experience with database persistence layers.

Then just because you can ask a hard technical question, ask them to write a function that compares two binary trees both in value and structure to see if they are identicial.
