place online to do shared coding for interview [closed]

Question

I'm giving a phone interview soon, and ideally, I'd like to see the candidate write some code in real time. Can anyone suggest a site where we can both go and he can type while I watch. (I'm behind a fairly strict corporate firewall, so a lot of basic chat services are blocked.)

Answer 1

Take a look at http://codeinterview.me. Similar to SeeMikeCode, but also gives the interviewee the option to install an IDE plugin (eclipse/intellij) which allows them to code in their IDE, while you watch in a browser.

Answer 2

I forget where i found this originally but it is quite nifty. Seemikecode

Answer 3

For 2 people editing a text document (unfortunately, no syntax-highlight - color is for authorship):

http://typewith.me/

• Trivial 1-click, 2-link setup
• Two way editing with colors to identify who contributed each line
• Line numbers
• Indentation level preserved on ENTER
• Undo / Redo / Save / Versions / etc
• Export to Word / PDF / HTML / etc (to attach to HR interview feedback)

For 1 typer and 1 watcher (with good syntax highlighting):

http://codeinterview.me

• Trivial 1-click, 2-link setup
• Note on 2 typers: if you want both sides to be able to edit (eg, interviewer types in feedback), then both parties should click the "interviewee" link. This WORKS.
• Plugins for Eclipse / Visual Studio / IDEA - optionally, the user can install an Eclipse plug-in to use that in place of the web editor and get the full fledged editing experience
• Syntax Highlighting (with support for 14 languages, including CoffeScript)
• No export functions (but you can copy / paste)
