Some advice from someone who sat on Google's Hiring Committee for about 20 months: https://plus.google.com/101174951617223562800/posts/2UE1Y815...

Having said that, Cracking the Coding Interview is a fantastic book for technical interviews. I've always been skeptical of this kind of book, but after having interviewed at Google, MS and Amazon, I can say that most of the questions were similar to ones from the book, if not directly from it. So thanks for writing it Gayle :)

Thanks :)

And as an ex-hiring committee member myself, I agree with everything Collin there said too. And it pains me that people write blogs / books promoting this brain teaser stuff. Such a disservice to candidates...
