Another popular interview question with larger businesses is "How familiar are you with agile development?"

Have you done any SCRUM training with any of your previous employers and actually put it into practice?


>Thank you. I will read all of them.

>It's funny that you sussed out part of the reason I asked the question. For some reason the thought came to me that I would be asked this exact question in an interview. Now all I need is an interview ;-) I am working on a .NET demo app that I am hoping can offset my lack of work experience.

>>>To be honest I do not find that answer, which is short enough to fit in a tweet, particularly helpful. For starters MVVM has been around longer than WPF or Silverlight and MVC has been around longer than the web, at least as most of us know it. Early 70s, right? In any case it does not explain the difference between the two.

>>>>MVC is used most often for web apps. MVVM came out of WPF/Silverlight and is generally used there.

>>>>>What is the difference between them? Should we have a preference? It would be easy to guess MVC, which dates from the 1970s, is out of it, but that might not be accurate. Is one on the rise and one on the wane or is it more complex than that?
