Frankly, I'd hire most people who are enthusiastic, curious, and willing to crack open a book if need be.
Most of these "questions" that people are posing here could only be answered by a very small minority; the ability to know "where" and "how" to find the answers is more important than having a photographic memory, IMO.
Ask them for a sample of their code and ask them to do a walk thru.
>Looking for questions to ask an alleged FoxPro/VFP programmer. Not trick questions, not MCP/MCSE etc., trying to think how to determine quickly whether a programmer really knows Fox. So far I know I want to ask:
>1) Discuss Rushmore
>2) (given structure) Write a command to create an index tag
>3) (given requirements) Write an SQL SELECT
>4) Write a UDF to return this, given that.
>I'm hoping that someone besides me has written a test they're willing to share. Of course I'd choose questions from it which emphasize what's important to me, and maybe add some of my own... I know someone (Whil Hentzen?) has published an article of questions he used to use to determine how much experience they had, such as "what version did this feature appear in?"
