How to identify decent C++ developers in an informal gathering -


I am going to an annual free software / open source conference. This event is very community-oriented and the hallway meetings are very informal. Since the company I'm currently working on is looking for C ++ developers (in a Linux environment), I printed the letter "We are recruiting C ++ developers" on the T-shirt .

Hope someone will come for me, introduce myself and tell me that he is a C ++ developer and is looking for a job.

What should I ask them to measure their C ++ knowledge? I need a question that can be raised in a crowded hall and with a pastry.

An example can be:

  • Why a killer should be virtual

Or maybe some other open question such as: / P>

  • What is your least preferred C ++ feature?

Explanation:

This question will not replace an interview, it seems to give an estimate whether someone Suitable to invite the candidate in the interview.

Apart from this, we already have a very competent person who is working full time to fill these posts, because I want to participate in this conference due to my own selfish reasons ( This is a fun event), I thought it could be an interesting experiment that tries to tap the Geeks to this unusual concentration. If this experiment is going to work, then I do not want to do just a random list of names, but there is a list of names with some signals of suitability.

After the conference, I will report the results of this experiment here.

Conclusion:

Finished. What I have learned from this little experiment is:

  1. It was fun for ordinary people to get the most comments I received that it was a good idea. It was an easy way to discuss the hall with interesting people.

  2. C ++ developers are not introvert, as one might suspect my evidence is not conclusive, but about half a dozen C ++ developers have contacted me.

  3. I should not be concerned about a particular question. In this environment, a discussion with a potential candidate comes naturally in a known pattern, telling me what we are doing, and thus the natural question to ask the candidate is that which he has done.

  4. In this environment, it is difficult to measure the candidate's eligibility. In the end, I handed my calling card to all those candidates who I had met. Since all these are not really available right now, I suspect that it will be easy to fix such people who will really lead my hands. Maybe I could have been better organized, but I think the informal nature of the conversation, and the fact that I had given a calling card, but did not write their details. Are well equipped with the conference environment.

    5. Meta:

    This question was not to raise any dispute. However, it seems that recruitment is a controversial subject, every answer here was voted down at least once. Even this question was flagged by some people for closing. If you think that I have wasted my time then I really am sorry. I will ask them about those projects they have done in C ++ if they do anything non- Trivial and doing anything like they know what they are talking about, they may be worth the actual interview.

    I can ask what other languages ​​they use, and how / how they learned C ++ if they are C ++ for a while, and Java, C #, Python, Etc. Before learning this, it is a good sign, it is a good sign.

    I do not think the questions about C ++ Archeana are very useful in Gogamang whether there is some cunning and works. Save him for a real interview.

Eclipse CDT variable colors in editor -

I hope this is a good question to ask here. This programming is related, so I thought it would be better than the superuser, so I am using the CDT C ++ Eclipse plugin. I know how the editor changes colors for some things But is there a way to do that all the variables are different colors? For example in KDEValue, it sets the local variables and square variables in different colors and bold square squares. Can I copy it to CDT? Eclips provides some level of color customization for text editor syntax You can see it on the following: There are many elements, including the Window> Preferences> C / C ++> Editor> Syntax color code that can be changed, assembly, Comments, Preprocessor and Doxian Under the code, it is possible to change the color of some variable types, such as global variables, local variable announcements, local variable references, and parameter variables. But I do not think the code is capable of changing the color of each variable declared....
