##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free. I didn't have a lot of money when growing up so I didn't get access to the same books, computers and resources that others had which caused money, I want to help ensure that others can learn on the same playing field regardless of their families wealth status or location.
What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go

This is a proof-of-concept of a couple of concurrent data structures written in Ruby.

The implementations are heavily commented for those interested. There are benchmarks (with results) included below. The results are interesting, but, as always, take with a grain of salt.

Data structures

AtomicLinkedQueue is a lock-free queue, built on atomic CAS operations.

STAY SAFE!

SQL Injection

Never interpolate user input directly in a SQL statement.

Don't:

User.where("name = #{params[:search][:name]}")

	connection = Faraday::Connection.new('http://example.com') do \|builder\|
	builder.request :url_encoded # for POST/PUT params
	builder.adapter :net_http
	end

	# same as above, short form:
	connection = Faraday.new 'http://example.com'

	# GET
	connection.get '/posts'

	# First install tmux
	brew install tmux

	# For mouse support (for switching panes and windows)
	# Only needed if you are using Terminal.app (iTerm has mouse support)
	Install http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php
	Then install https://bitheap.org/mouseterm/

	# More on mouse support http://floriancrouzat.net/2010/07/run-tmux-with-mouse-support-in-mac-os-x-terminal-app/

	# inspired by http://blog.leshill.org/blog/2011/10/23/fast-specs.html

	# to get specs running without rails (faster) do

	# SKIP_RAILS=yes time bundle exec rspec
	# or
	# SKIP_RAILS=yes time bundle exec guard

	# spec_helper

	module FactoryGirlAdditions
	# create instance without running callbacks and validations
	def insert(*args)
	record = FactoryGirl.build(*args)
	def record.run_callbacks(*args, &block)
	if block_given?
	block.arity.zero? ? yield : yield(self)
	end
	end
	record.save!
