Other Advice on books for logic puzzle questions for software engineers

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for logic puzzles specifically tailored for software engineering interviews. The original poster seeks recommendations for books or websites that focus on these types of puzzles, noting that while many resources exist online, they are often not specific to software engineering. The Euler Project is mentioned as a fun resource for logic problems. Additionally, there is a conversation about the importance of soft skills in job interviews, highlighting that emotional and social intelligence can be just as crucial as technical problem-solving abilities. The distinction between soft skills and software skills is clarified, emphasizing the need for effective communication in the interview process.

Summary: Advice on books for software engineer logic puzzles for interviews and improve overall skills

I am looking to getting into software engineering, and am having trouble with find the logic puzzle books or websites to prep for interviews. Now of course there lots of logic puzzle type question on the internet, but what I am wondering are there more logic puzzle geared towards software engineering or the fact of the matter is that any logic type puzzle will be good for interview preparation?

Also has anyone recommendations on good logic puzzle books or websites? I have come across brillaint which is okay, but the free version has only limited number of questions. So if anyone has any links or books recommendation it would be much appreciated.

oops I have posted in wrong forum, I ment to put in STEM carers but can't figure how to delete post and post to that forum. Could admin help me move to the correct forum please.

You might look at the Euler project. It's fun.

Job interview preparation is a different ball game, though: soft skills are more useful there than a high score on the puzzles ...

Ah okay thank you. I never knew about the euler project but the ex do seem to be fun. Just to clarify when you say soft skills, you mean software skills?

Soft skills means emotional and social intelligence, skills related to communication with humans. The kind of stuff nerds are not supposed to have. :oldbiggrin:

Good that we've talked about it :devil:
 
i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
