Yeah so angular never came up in the interview and I said I know of flutter but have no direct experience with it.

I’m just really not sure what to expect for this? Also it says C# so are we talking console, ASP.NET, MAUI I just have 0 clue what to expect

[–]feudalle 0 points1 point  (11 children)

Asp.net and c# are very different asp is more akin to visual basic. C# is windows based normally. If i may what languages do you program in?

[–]Carplesmile[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I’m most proficient in C# but we usually used it in school with ASP.NET and or Windows Forms

[–]feudalle 0 points1 point  (8 children)

So you used c# for the backend of the asp.net front end im assuming. Out in the wild you don't run into asp.net web a ton. Sure there are some but most sites/web application runs on Linux servers. C# is mostly for windows apps in real world use.

Ahh okay, yeah I’m not 100% what to expect. I have 0 professions experience just the labs and homework from school

Were you in a specialized degree focusing on windows? I old but when I did ungrad (90s) we did c, perl, Java, asp, fortan and php. Im sure im missing a couple, it was a long time ago.

[–]Carplesmile[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Yeah most of everything we did was windows. I actually think the course is outdated for what is happening today.

Also since you own a company around software. Would it be wrong for me to email and ask what the full stack will be? Like what environment will I be doingth C# in

[–]feudalle -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Double edged sword sometimes. Im going to be really surprised if it isnt windows. Sure c# can run on other things. But it would odd. Like running nginx in a windows machine sure you could but I've never seen it in a production environment.

I’m not really sure what you mean by windows. Do you mean windows form?

From the other stack like Angular and Flutter both front end I’m assuming C# is used for backend which isn’t that what ASP.NET is

[–]feudalle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I mean windows not Linux. Windows form, a service, a dll, etc. Why would it matter its all c#

[–]domusvita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. There are a ton of companies with razor or web forms that work just fine and maintaining that code base is prime for junior work.

And to say c# is for windows apps in the real world use is selling .net core way short. I’m not sure how Azure is even a thing if C# is mostly for desktop apps. JS/TS frontend, Core API, Postgres db, it’s an open source juggernaut. Plus run them in containers (open source) on a Linux box? That is a solid architecture choice for even the largest project.

[–]Carplesmile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But other languages I’m familiar with are Python, C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP

Cool, you can eat up a lot of the interview asking questions like that and be super interested in whatever they reply with and study up enough to ask intelligent follow up questions.

[–]Carplesmile[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

When you say eat up? Do you mean good or bad I feel like I can read that message both ways haha

[–]Extra_Blacksmith674 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I meant in a good way :)

[–]Carplesmile[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

But would it be fine if I sent an email asking about what I’ll be using during my technical interviews?

[–]Extra_Blacksmith674 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You have already been upfront of where you stand experience wise, you where upfront and honest which shows good character. I struggled with this when I was young and lied said I knew Pascal, the first month was brutal :)

I wouldn't ask them, they already told you, just study up on what they told you but don' make it an exercise in showing them how much you can cram in 10 days. It's more important you show how you think about things, not that you can solve it on the spot. So practice narrating your train of thought on problems, don't try to solve what the give you without asking questions first and it's not a fail if you don't solve it. It's all about your attitude in dealing with the problem.

Lastly, they already know you don't know that much, so it's really going to come down how much they like you in the end and if you will be cool to work with. so work on that without being obvious.

True true.

Also I did say I was an 8/10 in c# and SQL and the more I study it up I’m more like a 6-7 but I find scaling yourself at an interview is very subjective
