PIEA
polymorphism
-  when you can treat an object as a generic version of something, but when you access it, the code determines at runtime which exact type it is and calls the associated code.
- EX: Overloading a method
inheritance
- when a 'class' derives from an existing 'class
encapsulation
- attributes of the class are kept private and public getter and setter methods are provided to manipulate these attributes. Thus, encapsulation makes the concept of data hiding possible.
- concept that binds together the data and functions that manipulate the data, and that keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse
abstraction
- Hiding key or core implementation
- It is used for the following scenarios
* Reduce complexity. (Create a simple interface)
* Allow for implementation to be modified without impacting its users.
* Create a common interface to support polymorphism (treating all implementations of the abstracted layer the same.
* Force users to extend the implementation rather than modify.
* Support cross platform by changing the implementation per platform.
overloading
- having two or more methods in the same class with the same name but different arguments.
overriding
- having two methods with the same arguments, but different implementations. One of them would exist in the parent class, while another will be in the derived, or child class.

REST (REpresentational State Transfer)
- The basic idea of REST is treating objects on the server-side (as in rows in a database table) as resources that can be created or destroyed.
API (Application Programming Interface)
- An interface through which 2 or more separate systems can interact with each other
- interface through which you access someone elses code or through which someone else's code accesses yours. In effect the public methods and properties

Pointer: A pointer variable, which often is just called a pointer, is a special variable that holds a memory address. With pointer variables you can indirectly manipulate data stored in other variables.  (explicit dereferencing)

Reference: Refers to an object or a value in memory (& extracts address), also known as a constant pointer. (implicit)

A few more interview questions to think about

Tell me about a challenge or conflict you've faced at work, and how you dealt with it.

2. What's a time you disagreed with a decision that was made at work?

3. How would your boss and co-workers describe you?


1. What are some of the key skills and abilities necessary for someone to succeed in this position?
If you ask this early in an interview, it can guide your entire strategy, Cole says. You can tell the interviewer how your strengths match up with what the company is seeking.
2. If I get the internship, how do I earn top marks on my performance review?
This marks you as eager to reach for excellence. Everyone wants an ambitious new hire.
3. Now that you know more about me, how do you think I can best help the company?
You want to know what the interviewer thinks about the fit, Cole says. The question also potentially reveals what he or she sees you working on in the position.
4. Is there anything else I can answer for you? I want to be as complete as possible.
You ask this to gauge the interest level of the interviewer and to get feedback, Cole explains.
“They may say, ‘There is one thing …’ and then you’ll have a chance to respond to it in real time,” he says. “As you ask this question, watch their facial expression and body language. That will tell you how they really feel about you.”
Debra DelBelso, director of the career center at Siena College, told Business Insider that if your interviewer is smiling and maintaining eye contact, there’s a good chance your interview is going well.
However, if the interviewer is crossing his or her arms, leaning away from you, or looking at the door, that might mean they’re not impressed, career expert Lynn Taylor told Business Insider.
5. What can I do or provide for you when I follow up?
By asking this wrap-up question, you appear thorough, helpful, and willing to make sure nothing is left to chance, Cole says.
6. what are you interested in a company?

Just talked about it with her as far as how development should go and how long it should take. tIe into android app development with google and classes.
