If you're familiar with Google, Microsoft, and Apple, then it's important to know that these companies have pretty rigorous interview processes. You don't get to be an engineering manager at one of these places without knowing how to interview well, but even as an experienced interviewer who has trained hundreds of other engineers on how to answer questions effectively, you can still sometimes feel unprepared during interviews. That's why this book is here to help you!

It is imperative to know your stuff, and even more important to be able to communicate that knowledge in an engaging way.

Cracking the Coding Interview focuses on algorithm design and coding questions-the kind of questions you'll encounter in interviews at companies like Google, Facebook, Uber, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. It starts with a brief overview of algorithm design and coding questions, then moves on to strategies for answering them. The book finishes with examples of real-life questions from various companies' interviews so that you can see how these strategies work in action.
