Google Interview University

Version original: Bahasa Inggris

Ringkasan apa ini?

Ini adalah ringkasan studi saya selama beberapa bulan dari web developer (otodidak, tanpa gelar sarjana informatika) hingga menjadi software engineer Google.

Menulis kode di papan tulis - dikutip dari serial TV Silicon Valley oleh HBO

Saya telah mengupas catatan Google's Coaching Note dan berikut adalah hal-hal penting dari catatan tersebut. Ada beberapa poin yang saya tambahkan pada bagian akhir yang mungkin muncul dalam wawancara atau dapat berguna dalam proses penyelesaian masalah. Banyak poin berasal dari artikel Steve Yegge "Get that job at Google" yang berisi poin-poin dari Google's Coaching Note.

Saya sudah meringkas poin-poin penting menurut saran dari Yegge. Saya juga mengubah beberapa rekomendasinya berdasarkan informasi yang saya dapatkan dari kontak saya di Google. Pedoman ini ditujukan untuk software engineer baru dan mereka yang ingin beralih profesi dari web developer menjadi software engineer (dimana ilmu komputer diperlukan).

Jika Anda mengaku memiliki pengalaman bertahun-tahun dalam rekayasa perangkat lunak, bersiaplah untuk wawncara yang jauh lebih sulit. Baca lebih lanjut.

Jika Anda memiliki pengalaman sebagai developer software/web, catat bahwa Google memandang software engineer berbeda dari developer software/web karena software engineer menggunakan ilmu komputer.

Jika Anda ingin menjadi teknisi ketahanan sistem atau teknisi sistem, lebih banyak pelajari pada bagian tambahan (jaringan, keamanan).

Mengapa Menggunakannya?

Saya mengikuti rencana ini untuk mempersiapkan saya dalam menghadapi wawancara kerja Google. Sejak 1997, saya telah menciptakan berbagai situs, servis, dan mendirikan startup. Saya memiliki gelar ekonomi, bukan gelar ilmu komputer. Saya telah meraih kesuksesan dalam karir saya, tapi saya ingin bekerja di Google. Saya ingin masuk ke sistem yang lebih besar dan mempunyai pemahaman mendalam tentang sistem komputer, efesiensi algoritma, performa struktur data, bahasa tingkat rendah, dan bagaimana semuanya bekerja. Jika anda tidak mengetahui satu pun, Google tidak akan mempekerjakan anda.

Ketika saya memulai proyek ini, saya tidak tahu tentang stack dari sebuah heap, tidak tahu tentang notasi Big-O apapun, begitupula dengan struktur data trees, atau bagaimana menyusuri sebuah graph. Jika saya harus menulis algoritma penyortiran, saya bisa katakan pada anda bahwa hasilnya tidak akan memuaskan. Setiap struktur data yang saya pernah pakai sudah tertanam dalam bahasa yang saya gunakan, dan saya tidak tahu bagaimana mereka bekerja secara riil. Saya tidak pernah diharuskan untuk mengatur penggunaan memori kecuali proses yang saya jalankan akan memberikan error 'memori tidak cukup', sehingga saya harus mencari jalan keluarnya. Saya pernah menggunakan beberapa array multidimensi dalam hidup saya dan ribuan array asosiatif, tapi saya tidak pernah menciptakan struktur data dari nol.

Tetapi setelah menjalani rencana studi ini saya memiliki kepercayaan diri yang tinggi bahwa saya akan diterima. Ini adalah rencana yang panjang. Ini akan menyita waktu saya selama berbulan-bulan. Tetapi jika anda sudah tidak asing lagi dengan materi yang dibutuhkan, hal ini akan membutuhkan waktu jauh lebih sedikit.

Bagaimana cara menggunakannya

Apapun dibawah ini adalah garis besar, dan anda harus menguasai materi dari atas ke bawah secara runut.

Saya menggunakan markdown spesial dari Github, termasuk daftar tugas untuk mengecek perkembangan.

Buat branch baru sehingga anda bisa mencentang seperti ini, bubuhi tanda x dalam tanda kurung: [x]

Fork sebuah branch dan ikuti perintah berikut

git checkout -b progress

git remote add jwasham https://github.com/jwasham/google-interview-university

git fetch --all

Tandai semua kotak dengan tanda X setalah anda menyelesaikannya

git add .

git commit -m "Marked x"

git rebase jwasham/master

git push --force

Lebih jauh tentang markdown Github

Masuk ke Mode Googley

Print satu atau beberapa foto dari "future Googler" (untuk ditempel tentunya) sebagai reminder anda apa hasil usaha yang anda akan dapatkan.

Apakah saya sudah mendapatkan pekerjaan ini? (Menjadi Googler)

Saya masih pada antrian. Berharap untuk di interview dalam waktu dekat ini.

Terima kasih untuk referensinya, JP.

About Google

Tentang sumber video

Beberapa video hanya dapat diakses dengan mengikuti kelas di Coursera, Edx, atau Lynda.com. Beberapa link tersebut biasa disebut MOOC (massive open online course) atau belajar online, seperti layaknya anda berkuliah biasa namun bedanya ini online dan diikuti oleh banyak orang dari seluruh dunia. Terkadang suatu saat kelas yang ada tidak dapat diikuti untuk sementara, dan harus menunggu beberapa bulan. Karena kelas tersebut ada waktunya dalam pembelajaran, dan ada waktunya untuk mendaftar, layaknya anda berkuliah. Khusus untuk Lynda.com merupakan situs yang berbayar untuk mengakses materinya.

Selain saya membagikan ilmu kepada kalian semua, saya juga mengapresiasi bantuan anda untuk menambahkan sumber pembelajaran yang gratis dan selalu terbuka untuk umum, seperti video di youtube untuk sebagai selingan dari kuliah online dari website yang disebutkan diatas.
Saya suka menggunakan media pembelajaran berbasiskan universitas.

Interview Process & General Interview Prep

Pilih satu bahasa pemrograman untuk wawancara

Saya menulis artikel pendek tentang topik hal tersebut: Penting:Pilih Satu Bahasa Pemrograman untuk wawancara dengan Google (Important: Pick One Language for the Google Interview)

Anda dapat menggunakan sebuah bahasa pemrograman yang nyaman bagi anda untuk melaksanakan salah satu bagian wawancara yaitu sesi mengkoding, tapi bagi Google, berikut adalah beberapa pilihan:

  • C++
  • Java
  • Python

Anda juga dapat menggunakan beberapa bahasa pemrograman berikut, tapi cari informasi dahulu tentang hal ini, karena mungkin ada kualifikasi khusus:

  • JavaScript
  • Ruby

Anda harus sangat nyaman dan memahami bahasa yang akan digunakan untuk wawancara tersebut.

Baca lebih banyak tentang pilihan.

Lihat beberapa sumber bahasa pemrograman disini

Anda akan melihat bebrapa C, C++, dan Python di cantumkan di link dibawah, karena saya juga sedang belajar. Ada beberapa buku juga diikutkan dalam list dibawah ini, lihat bagian bawah.

Book List

This is a shorter list than what I used. This is abbreviated to save you time.

Interview Prep

If you have tons of extra time:

Computer Architecture

If short on time:

  • Write Great Code: Volume 1: Understanding the Machine
    • The book was published in 2004, and is somewhat outdated, but it's a terrific resource for understanding a computer in brief.
    • The author invented HLA, so take mentions and examples in HLA with a grain of salt. Not widely used, but decent examples of what assembly looks like.
    • These chapters are worth the read to give you a nice foundation:
      • Chapter 2 - Numeric Representation
      • Chapter 3 - Binary Arithmetic and Bit Operations
      • Chapter 4 - Floating-Point Representation
      • Chapter 5 - Character Representation
      • Chapter 6 - Memory Organization and Access
      • Chapter 7 - Composite Data Types and Memory Objects
      • Chapter 9 - CPU Architecture
      • Chapter 10 - Instruction Set Architecture
      • Chapter 11 - Memory Architecture and Organization

If you have more time (I want this book):

Language Specific

You need to choose a language for the interview (see above). Here are my recommendations by language. I don't have resources for all languages. I welcome additions.

If you read though one of these, you should have all the data structures and algorithms knowledge you'll need to start doing coding problems. You can skip all the video lectures in this project, unless you'd like a review.

Additional language-specific resources here.

C++

I haven't read these two, but they are highly rated and written by Sedgewick. He's awesome.

If you have a better recommendation for C++, please let me know. Looking for a comprehensive resource.

Java

OR:

  • Data Structures and Algorithms in Java
    • by Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser
    • used as optional text for CS intro course at UC Berkeley
    • see my book report on the Python version below. This book covers the same topics.

Python

Optional Books

Some people recommend these, but I think it's going overboard, unless you have many years of software engineering experience and expect a much harder interview:

  • [ ] Algorithm Design Manual (Skiena)

    • As a review and problem recognition
    • The algorithm catalog portion is well beyond the scope of difficulty you'll get in an interview.
    • This book has 2 parts:
      • class textbook on data structures and algorithms
        • pros:
          • is a good review as any algorithms textbook would be
          • nice stories from his experiences solving problems in industry and academia
          • code examples in C
        • cons:
          • can be as dense or impenetrable as CLRS, and in some cases, CLRS may be a better alternative for some subjects
          • chapters 7, 8, 9 can be painful to try to follow, as some items are not explained well or require more brain than I have
          • don't get me wrong: I like Skiena, his teaching style, and mannerisms, but I may not be Stony Brook material.
      • algorithm catalog:
        • this is the real reason you buy this book.
        • about to get to this part. Will update here once I've made my way through it.
    • To quote Yegge: "More than any other book it helped me understand just how astonishingly commonplace (and important) graph problems are – they should be part of every working programmer's toolkit. The book also covers basic data structures and sorting algorithms, which is a nice bonus. But the gold mine is the second half of the book, which is a sort of encyclopedia of 1-pagers on zillions of useful problems and various ways to solve them, without too much detail. Almost every 1-pager has a simple picture, making it easy to remember. This is a great way to learn how to identify hundreds of problem types."
    • Can rent it on kindle
    • Half.com is a great resource for textbooks at good prices.
    • Answers:
    • Errata
  • [ ] Introduction to Algorithms

    • Important: Reading this book will only have limited value. This book is a great review of algorithms and data structures, but won't teach you how to write good code. You have to be able to code a decent solution efficiently.
    • To quote Yegge: "But if you want to come into your interviews prepped, then consider deferring your application until you've made your way through that book."
    • Half.com is a great resource for textbooks at good prices.
    • aka CLR, sometimes CLRS, because Stein was late to the game
  • [ ] Programming Pearls

    • The first couple of chapters present clever solutions to programming problems (some very old using data tape) but that is just an intro. This a guidebook on program design and architecture, much like Code Complete, but much shorter.
  • "Algorithms and Programming: Problems and Solutions" by Shen

    • A fine book, but after working through problems on several pages I got frustrated with the Pascal, do while loops, 1-indexed arrays, and unclear post-condition satisfaction results.
    • Would rather spend time on coding problems from another book or online coding problems.

Before you Get Started

This list grew over many months, and yes, it kind of got out of hand.

Here are some mistakes I made so you'll have a better experience.

1. You Won't Remember it All

I watched hours of videos and took copious notes, and months later there was much I didn't remember. I spent 3 days going through my notes and making flashcards so I could review.

Read please so you won't make my mistakes:

Retaining Computer Science Knowledge

2. Use Flashcards

To solve the problem, I made a little flashcards site where I could add flashcards of 2 types: general and code. Each card has different formatting.

I made a mobile-first website so I could review on my phone and tablet, wherever I am.

Make your own for free:

Keep in mind I went overboard and have cards covering everything from assembly language and Python trivia to machine learning and statistics. It's way too much for what's required by Google.

Note on flashcards: The first time you recognize you know the answer, don't mark it as known. You have to see the same card and answer it several times correctly before you really know it. Repetition will put that knowledge deeper in your brain.

An alternative to using my flashcard site is Anki, which has been recommended to me numerous times. It uses a repetition system to help you remember. It's user-friendly, available on all platforms and has a cloud sync system. It costs $25 on iOS but is free on other platforms.

My flashcard database in Anki format: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/25173560 (thanks @xiewenya)

3. Review, review, review

I keep a set of cheat sheets on ASCII, OSI stack, Big-O notations, and more. I study them when I have some spare time.

Take a break from programming problems for a half hour and go through your flashcards.

4. Focus

There are a lot of distractions that can take up valuable time. Focus and concentration are hard.

What you won't see covered

This big list all started as a personal to-do list made from Google interview coaching notes. These are prevalent technologies but were not mentioned in those notes:

  • SQL
  • Javascript
  • HTML, CSS, and other front-end technologies

The Daily Plan

Some subjects take one day, and some will take multiple days. Some are just learning with nothing to implement.

Each day I take one subject from the list below, watch videos about that subject, and write an implementation in:

  • C - using structs and functions that take a struct * and something else as args.
  • C++ - without using built-in types
  • C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
  • Python - using built-in types (to keep practicing Python)
  • and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, sometimes just using simple assert() statements
  • You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.

You don't need all these. You need only one language for the interview.

Why code in all of these?

  • Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
  • Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python))
  • Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)

I may not have time to do all of these for every subject, but I'll try.

You can see my code here:

You don't need to memorize the guts of every algorithm.

Write code on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer. Test with some sample inputs. Then test it out on a computer.

Prerequisite Knowledge

Algorithmic complexity / Big-O / Asymptotic analysis

Data Structures

More Knowledge

Trees

Sorting

If you need more detail on this subject, see "Sorting" section in Additional Detail on Some Subjects

Graphs

Graphs can be used to represent many problems in computer science, so this section is long, like trees and sorting were.

You'll get more graph practice in Skiena's book (see Books section below) and the interview books

Even More Knowledge


System Design, Scalability, Data Handling


Final Review

This section will have shorter videos that can you watch pretty quickly to review most of the important concepts.
It's nice if you want a refresher often.

Coding Question Practice

Now that you know all the computer science topics above, it's time to practice answering coding problems.

Coding question practice is not about memorizing answers to programming problems.

Why you need to practice doing programming problems:

  • problem recognition, and where the right data structures and algorithms fit in
  • gathering requirements for the problem
  • talking your way through the problem like you will in the interview
  • coding on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer
  • coming up with time and space complexity for your solutions
  • testing your solutions

There is a great intro for methodical, communicative problem solving in an interview. You'll get this from the programming interview books, too, but I found this outstanding: Algorithm design canvas

My Process for Coding Interview (Book) Exercises

No whiteboard at home? That makes sense. I'm a weirdo and have a big whiteboard. Instead of a whiteboard, pick up a large drawing pad from an art store. You can sit on the couch and practice. This is my "sofa whiteboard". I added the pen in the photo for scale. If you use a pen, you'll wish you could erase. Gets messy quick.

Read and Do Programming Problems (in this order):

See Book List above

Coding exercises/challenges

Once you've learned your brains out, put those brains to work. Take coding challenges every day, as many as you can.

Your Resume

Be thinking of for when the interview comes

Think of about 20 interview questions you'll get, along with the lines of the items below. Have 2-3 answers for each. Have a story, not just data, about something you accomplished.

  • Why do you want this job?
  • What's a tough problem you've solved?
  • Biggest challenges faced?
  • Best/worst designs seen?
  • Ideas for improving an existing Google product.
  • How do you work best, as an individual and as part of a team?
  • Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
  • What did you most enjoy at [job x / project y]?
  • What was the biggest challenge you faced at [job x / project y]?
  • What was the hardest bug you faced at [job x / project y]?
  • What did you learn at [job x / project y]?
  • What would you have done better at [job x / project y]?

Have questions for the interviewer

Some of mine (I already may know answer to but want their opinion or team perspective):
  • How large is your team?
  • What does your dev cycle look like? Do you do waterfall/sprints/agile?
  • Are rushes to deadlines common? Or is there flexibility?
  • How are decisions made in your team?
  • How many meetings do you have per week?
  • Do you feel your work environment helps you concentrate?
  • What are you working on?
  • What do you like about it?
  • What is the work life like?

Once You've Got The Job

Congratulations!

Keep learning.

You're never really done.

I added these to reinforce some ideas already presented above, but didn't want to include them
above because it's just too much. It's easy to overdo it on a subject.
You want to get hired in this century, right?
