As an application developer, you will be asked many questions about the technology and the processes you use to do your work during an interview. The interviewer wants to understand your capabilities, experience, and skills and confirm that they match the job requirements. When answering these types of questions, you should be direct and concise. You should also anticipate follow-up questions from the interviewer if they need additional information or are interested in the topic you are discussing. When asking about the resources you use when faced with a difficult programming issue, the interviewer hopes to learn that you recognize your limitations but know how to use external sources to overcome them and learn new programming techniques.

"Whenever I encounter a difficult programming issue which I haven't come across before, I use several resources to research it and learn to overcome it before proceeding to write the code. This helps me quickly resolve the issue and also helps me learn something I can use if I encounter the same or a similar issue in the future. Resources I use to find the solution include programming guides, online articles, podcasts, developer forums, and software coding manuals. I also discuss the issue with my team to get their input, which is usually the fastest way to resolve the issue."
