As recent graduate with a BS in Computer Science, and one looking for a J-O-B. Some of these questions are trivial, but a lot of times you haven't thought about them since your initial classes. Your head is full of random trivia or more complicated stuff like polymorphism, threading, differences in SDLCs, and which UML diagram you should use. I haven't had a "programming" class since Freshman year (unless you count assembly--soph). Most classes/Uni. Programs are skimping on the code monkey, and concentrating on how to properly design/engineer a solution. So us newly graduated ARE lacking in the actual coding experience it doesn't mean we can't program, just that we haven't done it.
