Full-Stack Developer Interview Preparation Guide

Experienced coders won’t just be able to rave about their favorite language’s strengths—they will also be able to talk about its weaknesses. JavaScript’s main weakness is security. Look for answers on how it can be exploited. A secondary weakness is JavaScript’s ubiquity and versatility—it can be a double-edged sword in that there’s a lot of room for programming quirks that can lead to inconsistent performance across different platforms.

You can tell a lot about a programmer from the frameworks they’re familiar with—AngularJS, React, jQuery, Backbone, Aurelia, and Meteor are just some of the more popular ones available. The key here is to make sure the developer you’re engaging has experience with the framework you’ve chosen for your project.

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence of letters that reads the same backwards or forwards. It also makes a great test for checking their ability to handle strings.

function isPalindrome(str) {
str = str.replace(/s/g, '').toLowerCase();
return (str == str.split('').reverse().join(''));
}

There are many jobs associated with putting together an application, and chances are high that your new JavaScript developer will at the very least have to interface with a designer. You’re looking for a developer who can communicate effectively when they need to, responds to emails, and knows how to coordinate with other branches of a project.

You want a developer who really knows how to play to the strengths of your chosen platform. Some key advantages of JavaScript are listed below for your convenience.

☛ Lightweight: JavaScript can be executed within the user’s browser without having to communicate with the server, saving on bandwidth.
☛ Versatile: JavaScript supports multiple programming paradigms—object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming and can be used on both front-end and server-side technologies.
☛ Sleek Interactivity: Because tasks can be completed within the browser without communicating with the server, JavaScript can create a smooth “desktop-like” experience for the end user.
☛ Rich Interfaces: From drag-and-drop blocks to stylized sliders, there are numerous ways that JavaScript can be used to enhance a website’s UI/UX.
☛ Prototypal Inheritance: Objects can inherit from other objects, which makes JavaScript so simple, powerful, and great for dynamic applications.

Prototypal OO is the other major programming paradigm that really lets JavaScript shine—objects linked to other objects (OLOO). You’re looking for knowledge of when and where to use prototypes, liberal use of “Object.assign()” or mixins, and a solid grasp of concepts like delegation and concatenative inheritance.

This question may seem self-explanatory, but what you’re looking for is a developer who can demonstrate solid understanding of how data flows throughout the application. In two-way data binding, changes to the UI and changes to the model occur asynchronously—a change on one end is reflected on the other. In one-way data binding, data only flows one way, and any changes that the user makes to the view will not be reflected in the model until the two are synced. Angular makes implementing two-way binding a snap, whereas React would be your framework of choice for deterministic one-way data flow.
