Customer Reviews

The paperback counterpart of technical interviews prep websites

Book condition and shipping speed: Book was new and as described. The shipping was quite speedy. About the book: I'll be brief because I haven't read the whole book, however I decided to buy it because I read a few of the free chapters at the BCtCI website and I liked the structure and prose of the material. This is especially the case for the technical chapters. For example, in the Sliding Window technique I like how different types of windows (e.g., fixed, resetting , etc) are treated along with the examples, exercises and solutions right there.
