What do they expect?

Hey guys,

I'm going in for an interview for a small software company internship (I'm still in college). Their description is as follows:

Quote:

Developing high-quality software solutions for modern image item processing while working with senior programmers to get a better understanding of the business. The skills needed for this position are C++, Windows based Operating Systems, relational database, object oriented software or design, client server applications, and sockets and named pipes for communication is a plus.

What kind of C++ programs should I show them in this case?

Thanks.

Presumably you should:

1) Show some project done in c++.
2) Show that you know some SQL, maybe a database project you have done in school with MySQL.
3) Be able to talk intelligently about classes, inheritance, polymorphism, etc.
4) Know what client server is, and a bonus would be if you have written some kind of small client server app with BSD sockets.

Yes, but do I show a C++ program that connects to a SQL database or what?

What kind of C++ programs should I show to them? Just any program that uses OOP principles?

write a program that uses classes for inherit an object called balloon. then display many balloons on the screen and connect to a database just to add the word balloon somewhere, then you say that inheritance is as easy as balloning :p
