Software Developer Interview in about a week

Hi Treehouse,

I have an interview for the role Software Developer and one of my friends recommended TreeHouse. I am currently brushing my skills on Java data structures and am finding it very very helpful. It would be really appreciated if I can get resources for this interview. The interview focuses heavily on data structures and algorithms.

Thanks in advance.

you want "Cracking the Coding Interview" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. Focuses on Data Structues and Algorithms. The code is in Java (though the DS&A can be implemented in any language and you cna find solutions in almost any language for the problems in this book online).

Great book, I second the recommendation. However, I do want to point out that it isn't exactly the type of book you would cover in a week - especially if unfamiliar with the data structures/algorithms. It is a good way to be able to brush up on them if you are already familiar, though (still wouldn't be able to cover most of the book in one week).
