Thanks, Steve; that was very helpful, although it would've been more helpful before I had a phonescreen with you guys last fall and totally brainlocked on a tree traversal. I kid you not, I could hear the guy interviewing me impatiently tapping his fingers on the table. He was just ITCHING to pencilwhip my ass out of there. I don't interview all that well, even though I like to pretend I'm not a dumbass.

Big +1 on data structures and algorithm study, though. Not knowing the answer to the tree stuff made me go out and read algorithm/DS books, and it was very, VERY helpful. Plus I got to use it in an interview that I managed not to fail.
