I've never been in a such an interview, but after reading this book I kind of feel like I could manage it now.



This book contains several examples for systems that have to be designed with high and detail view, back-of-the-envelope calculations about bandwidth and disk space and the general approach including how the communication with the interviewer can be.



I also really liked all the links to basically every topic, I think I've got plenty of new blogs I have to follow now. Also the start of this book is nice, starting simple and adding more and more until it is a complex system.
