The interviewer asked me a single question straightaway (no introductions and stuff like that) and I came up with a O (n log n) solution, he hinted at a O(n) solution. Then I got it after a couple of minutes, then he confirmed the answer and said the interview is over. Does this mean I'm out and I should have got the faster answer in the first place?

I got an offer as a sophomore (I took an offer at Google instead), and have another offer this year as a junior. They don't care if they think you have potential to do great things, just like any other large software company. -Second, not getting the perfect solution to a problem is in no way a failure. Most good interviewers won't ask you a question which you can actually get the answer to. They get a much better picture of how you think and problem solve with questions you can't figure out. I have gotten plenty of offers from interviews in which I didn't get the perfect solution to a single question asked.

The website is a bit shy on info, I am sure you may understand why... Drop me a line and we can find a time to talk more about the ALPHAclass 2012 - I think you'd be able to provide valuable and interesting insight to the work we have underway. You won't find ALPHAclass info on the site just yet...we're working on the final touches. Looking forward to hearing from you soon - Kelly Andrew – I’d like to talk with you about a new grad program I am working on for Intentional Software.

To add two points to what you mentioned above: - "Programming interviews exposed" is a good review of CS fundamentals like data structures and algorithms. - The "Head First" series of books covers design patterns and other CS concepts in a fun and engaging manner. (Example "Head First Design Patterns".) Great post! To add two points to what you mentioned above:
