Using arrays in Visual Basic 6

by Mark Horninger
Arrays are types of variables used in Visual Basic. All Visual Basic programmers, ranging in experience from beginner to advanced, need to have an understanding of arrays. An advantage to using arrays is the ability to refer to a group or series of variables by one name. This can make programming more efficient. The following set of questions will help determine the level of expertise a programmer has with arrays. A mid level programmer should be able to answer all of these questions correctly. A junior level programmer should be able to answer at least 7 of these questions correctly.

This question tests the basic IP troubleshooting knowledge of a network support specialist or administrator with only a couple of years experience who would be working in a Windows network environment. The question also requires a basic understanding of configuring a Windows client with the appropriate DNS settings.
 
Database Admin
Code Page Implications

by Casey Young
This database question should be asked of a Database Administrator (DBA) with advanced mainframe experience to show the candidate's understanding of the use of ASCII, EBCDIC and UNICODE code pages. A DBA with 3-4 years experience who has kept up-to-date in his or her knowledge should be able to express a solution to this problem fairly quickly.
 
by Duane Fields
This question is designed to gauge a candidate's understanding of how JavaServer Pages (JSPs) work with multi-value JavaBean properties. It addresses several aspects, but would be most appropriate when interviewing intermediate to advanced web developers.
