This PR creates extensive and comprehensive interview guides for three key technology areas, replacing the minimal placeholder content with in-depth resources for technical interview preparation.

What's Changed

C++ Interview Guide (cpp/interview.md)

  • 660 lines of comprehensive C++ interview content
  • Covers fundamental concepts (data types, memory management, OOP)
  • Advanced topics including move semantics, template metaprogramming, and concurrency
  • Common interview questions with detailed explanations and code examples
  • Best practices including RAII, smart pointers, and modern C++ guidelines
  • Real-world scenarios for performance-critical applications
  • Coding patterns and anti-patterns with practical examples
  • Performance considerations and optimization techniques
  • Modern C++ features (C++11/14/17/20) and industry trends

Python Interview Guide (python/interview.md)

  • 1,856 lines of comprehensive Python interview content
  • Fundamental concepts (data types, control flow, functions, OOP)
  • Advanced topics including decorators, generators, context managers, and metaclasses
  • Common interview questions covering Python internals, GIL, and memory management
  • Best practices with PEP 8, type hints, error handling, and testing
  • Real-world scenarios including web development, data processing, and async programming
  • Coding patterns (Factory, Strategy, Observer) and anti-patterns to avoid
  • Performance optimization techniques and profiling
  • Modern Python practices including dataclasses, Pydantic, async/await, and current industry trends

Software Architecture Interview Guide (architecture/interview.md)

  • 1,940 lines of comprehensive architecture interview content
  • Fundamental design principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI) with practical examples
  • System architecture patterns (monolithic, microservices, serverless, event-driven)
  • Scalability and performance considerations including load balancing and caching strategies
  • Database design covering SQL vs NoSQL, sharding, and consistency patterns
  • Common interview questions with system design scenarios (URL shortener, chat application)
  • Real-world system design scenarios (e-commerce, social media, video streaming)
  • Best practices and anti-patterns in API design, security, and error handling
  • Modern architecture trends including serverless, Kubernetes, DevOps, and observability

Key Features

All guides include:

  • Clear table of contents with hierarchical navigation
  • Code examples in multiple languages with practical implementations
  • Interview questions with detailed explanations and sample answers
  • Real-world scenarios demonstrating practical application of concepts
  • Best practices and anti-patterns with do's and don'ts
  • Modern trends and industry-standard practices
  • Proper Markdown formatting with consistent structure and readability

Content Quality

Each guide provides:

  • Theoretical foundations with practical applications
  • Code examples that compile and run
  • Interview preparation strategies and tips
  • Performance considerations and optimization techniques
  • Security best practices where applicable
  • Modern tooling and ecosystem recommendations

These comprehensive guides serve as complete interview preparation resources, covering everything from fundamental concepts to advanced architectural decisions that candidates might encounter in technical interviews.
