CGI Software Engineer interview questions

General team skills and project management questions are not the easiest to answer. The technical questions that a software engineer would get are pretty simple OOP stuff. Might have to debug a simple program on paper. Nothing to be worried about though if you actually know c++/java.

2 questions: 1) Implement silverlight application which converts string "<color name>_<number>" (for example "red_1") to textbox properties: <color_name> - the color name of text <number> - if number % 2 == 0, set color A, otherwise set color B You have to use IValueConverter and data binding. 2) write function which takes valid directory path as argument and prints out 10 biggest files in path's sub tree. Use recursive algorithm. <- i din't have enough time to finish it. It must work without crashes and must show comprehensive error messages.
