Concurrent Programming Interviews
Apress (Verlag)
979-8-8688-1197-5 (ISBN)
Today, interviews for software engineering roles typically include several different rounds: coding, system design, behavioral, and domain knowledge. The domain knowledge round can vary based on the job description, but one extremely common focus is concurrent programming. While not intended to be a comprehensive reference, this book distills the essential interview insights drawn from author Bonan Liu’s personal experiences to stand out from the competition. Key topics include mutexes and locks, condition variables, thread abstraction, STL features, and lock-free implementations, with each concept reinforced through practical exercises like building a file handler cache and implementing read/write locks.
Software interviews are more than just exams; they are hours-long conversations with real people. You'll not only develop a solid understanding of concurrency, but also learn how to best showcase your expertise to enhance your performance throughout the entire process, including general coding rounds.
What You Will Learn
Acquire foundational knowledge of concurrent programming in C++.
Practice relevant interview questions for each section of this knowledge.
Develop strategies for best demonstrating learned skills in the general coding round.
Who This Book Is For
Software engineers seeking new career opportunities, particularly SDE II, Senior SDE, and Staff SDE roles. Interviewers might also gain insight into concurrent programming to enhance the evaluation of their candidates, securing top talent.
Bonan Liu is a software engineer specializing in distributed systems, cloud computing and backend development. He began his tech career after earning a Master’s degree in computer science from Columbia University, following his graduation from Sichuan University in China. Bonan's professional journey includes working alongside talented colleagues at Uber, Google, Microsoft, and Cruise, where he contributed to various large-scale, high-performance systems. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with others. Bonan served as an Adjunct Lecturer at The City University of New York from 2019 to 2020, teaching cloud computing to undergraduate students. Additionally, Bonan translated the Chinese edition of Cracking the Coding Interview (6th edition), helping aspiring programmers in China achieve their career goals. Outside of his professional pursuits, Bonan is an avid runner, participating in events from 5Ks to full marathons. He lives in New York City with his wife and their two beloved cats, who bring joy and laughter to their home.
