I am an experienced software architect/developer living in Melbourne, Australia.I am passionate about pragmatic architecture and solution design, solid development practices and code quality in enterprise development teams.

I am working on distributed systems and SOA (using WCF), legacy integration and modernisation, defining a .Net technology roadmap, application lifecycle management using TFS in my day job.

I started programming in C++ before moving on to C# about 6 years back and loving the language and .Net framework since then.

I am interested to learn from others and trying to share with the community interesting knowledge and information that I come across.

Good idea during interview time. But what about screening candidates, shouldn't the good ones simply fly through it. To management this seems to be an objective and cost-effective solution than calling many candidates for interview. Trying to play devil's advocate here.

Yes, they say that in their brochure. I have no real experience. Also the testing is adaptive i.e. gets tougher progressively as you go on to correctly answer questions.

comment What would you change about C# if you could?
@Timwi - Apologies for that. I am splitting the answer into two. To me const correctness is about design intent and accidental misuse, not a guard against deliberate and malicious misuse.
