    <p>I would have thought that it would be better to simply create a test that would make it easy for you to put developers into different 'skill buckets'.</p> <p>Why not have three or four sections or features that the developer must 'layer' features on top one another to show their programming and design skills.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Part 1</strong>: Implement x easy difficulty features.</li> <li><strong>Part 2</strong>: Implement x medium difficulty features.</li> <li><strong>Part 3</strong>: Implement x difficult features.</li> <li><strong>Part 4</strong>: Implement x very difficult features.</li> </ul> <p>And give the developer 1 hour to write the application. Make it realistic that they can implement the features in the given time frame.</p> <p>As Joel and Jeff say on the Stackoverflow podcast, there is a direct correlation between developer skill and speed. </p> <p>Think about the way exams are structured? We can all get 100% of the questions correct in any exam we sit if we had infinite time, but in 1 hour? </p> <p>This way, If a developer takes your test and only implements features up to Section 2 in the time period, then you should have a safe indication that they are not suitable for the job. Section 3 features all done then they are good enough and section 4 complete would indicate that they are very experienced and a slight cut above the rest.</p> <p>However I would also look at the overall polish that the developer has given to the code. If they implemented all features up to section 4, but poorly, then they are also not going to be someone you want. IF a developer only did up to section 3 but implemented everything very elegantly, then I would want to hire them.</p> <p>I also think that 1 hour is perhaps a little too long. I would aim for 10-40 minutes obviously you may need to cut out section 4 that I proposed.</p>

    2. COIf they have no imagination, then I would not call them a good programmer. Programming is problem solving and if you fundamentally cannot solve problems then I would say there is some problem there.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
