Software Engineer's Technical Q&A Book ?

I have an upcoming Electronic Arts Developer Relations Software Engineer job interview dealing with Windows programming technical support (C/C++/C#, .NET Framework, OOP, etc). Bascially assisting in-house software engineers with company utilities and APIs. A technical phone interview is coming up and i would like to be better prepaird for it by perusing common technical issues this position might have. These discussion forums are fabulous but would take me too long to locate and understand hidden gems.

What i'm looking for a is a quality software engineer's problems and answers book. For instance the book would have a question like "My .DLL is consuming too much memory on PC#1 but not on PC#2, how do i resolve the problem". I really cant think of a better question but I hope this gives you an idea. Perhaps it can list off a few not so well known tools to aid in problem solving common SE issues.

Thanks.

Well, first of all, this is not the right forum for this question, it better suited in general discussion perhaps.

Anyway, questions/situations (like you described in your question) varies from programmer to programmer, machine to machine, OS to OS and many more and any book that covers all these topics would surely be one giant beast.

Anyway, you can look at the C++ language FAQ (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=231055) & Visual C++ FAQs (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=52) section, there you'll find many such questions and there answers, which you can prepare for your interview and good luck :thumb:

Whohooo. If that thing would exist then I would be unemployed at this moment and a fat monkey would be doing my job. :D
