Also do not be tensed and take things lightly, if the interviewer is joking. Be candid.
Skill Tips: Learn basics of coding from books . Aptitude can be done from sites likes geeks for geeks, etc. The level of aptitude is not very high and infact the coding aptitude is also theoretical and does not involve in depth knowledge.
