I've always wondered how it is exactly that a programmer would have a portfolio. The image of a long print out sheet of 1's and 0's in a full to bursting manila folder always comes to mind.
1s and 0s? Are you joking?
Generally, they'll want a few code samples to show that your coding pratices are up to snuff, and a run-down of a few significant projects you've worked on and the technical challenges you faced and overcome when working on them. Probably with links to the program online or some resource about it if they want to know more.
Like, you can't show them a screenshot of your program (that you built in visual studio, whoopie!); that does nothing for them. You need to say stuff like:
"I made the program tie it's own shoe-laces with tweezers that are 200km long, in zero gravity, while on fire and being attacked by ninjas and helicopters.
And I made it do it faster than the industry standard shoe-lace tying program too."That makes sense. And I was joking about the binary, chillax. :)
