- Take a look at their GitHub account.
- Ask about their use of Stack Overflow.
- Live coding.
- Programming tests.
Which is the best way to check a candidate’s programming knowledge on a real time basis?
Work sample coding tests. Work sample coding tests are a great method if you want to know how to assess programming skills, because they mirror real-life tasks that await the new developer.

It doesn’t make it any more difficult to learn, it’s just that the resources might take a different form than what you’re generally used to as a parent.

How can you measure your skills as a programmer?
You’re just out of school, but your basic coding skills leave something to be desired. You had a hard time just passing most of your programming classes, but for some reason decided you still want to pursue a career in software development. You also don’t really believe in yourself, so why should an interviewer?
How many levels of programming proficiency are there?

What’s the most accurate way to measure self-assessment?
The people who are in the 50-75% bracket tended to assess themselves most accurately. You could reasonably summarize this as 50% of self-assessments are lies and another 25% are wrong.
