You might have already backed the project, referred friends and promoted the campaign, which is great and got superb initial response.

As of now campaign grabbed $9,320,098 out of 32 million. At this point I think only major industry backing can only make this campaign success within next 12 days.

Device specs and softwares are just awesome for the tech community and probably we know this is the future, but PROBLEM is there not much of use case suggested for Ubuntu Edge in a enterprise environment.What we can do is imagine the possibilities of Ubuntu Edge in any enterprise solutions and come up with creative and innovative ideas,share them with others through social media, if possible try to convince any Enterprise customer to back ubuntu campaign.

The general hiring process is this:

1. Apply (or get referred by a recruiter) with resume

2. Provide one- or two-sentence answers to some simple prescreen questions

3. Do a phone interview with member of dev team

4. Visit office for a face-to-face interview, and complete a code exercise while in office

5. Receive offer of employment

Now what has happened several times is that a candidate will do well enough on #1 and #2, talk a good game on #3, come in for #4 and totally bomb because they don't know how to throw a freakin' exception!

I am completely dumb-founded by this. How do you get through a complete CS program in college and expect me to hire you as a professional Java developer without knowing one of the basic principles of the language?

Are my expectations really that unreasonable, or do CS programs in general neglect exception handling when teaching OO?","time":1375384600,"title":"Ask HN: Shouldn't a recent CS grad know how to throw an exception?","type":"story","url":""}]]
