These questions have been compiled over time from a variety of coworkers and other sources -- sadly I never documented them, but don't feel the need to credit me. Obviously, be forewarned that some folks may have already reviewed the questions. :) I'm impressed with how many people are actually answering the questions in SurveyMonkey! There have been a few requests for answers, so I'll try to get to those soon. Here are some more questions you could ask: <ul> <li>How do you keep your skills up to date?</li> <li>What new HTML 5 (or CSS 3) feature are you most looking forward to and why?</li> </ul> Please, feel free to use any or all of the questions, everyone!

I’m impressed with how many people are actually answering the questions in SurveyMonkey! There have been a few requests for answers, so I’ll try to get to those soon.

Here are some more questions you could ask:

  • How do you keep your skills up to date?
  • What new HTML 5 (or CSS 3) feature are you most looking forward to and why?

Would you mind if I use it to screen some potential hires? Promise to credit ya!
