This is a unique question the interviewer will ask you to learn more about your preferences and the type of programming you enjoy. Every answer you give during an interview demonstrates your qualifications for the position for which you are interviewing. Your answer to this question can reflect your personal preferences, but it should also align with the type of programming the organization expects you to do. You can determine how to properly answer this question by researching the organization to learn about the applications it develops, the type of programmers who work currently there, and some of the projects they've recently completed.

"When I'm not working on application development projects at work, I enjoy coding software which is meant to improve applications used in distance learning environments. I have watched students using these applications struggle due to the interface's complexity, the application's limitations, and other critical issues. I am familiar with these issues, and I know that I can improve the applications and make them easier to use. I have developed a new distant learning application currently being tested by one of the local school districts. I hope to make this available as freeware for any school that would like to use it in their curriculum."
