Have a think about the types of question they might ask and have a vague answer prepared in your head before time.

I have no programming knowledge really but I guess you'd be looking at things like:
"When have you had to come up with a creative solution to a problem?"
"When have you had to work to a tight deadline and how did you deal with it?"
"Have you experienced a situation where you've had a disagreement with someone over a course of action and how did you resolve it?"

Don't come up with answers parrot fashion, just think of a few examples (exaggerate if needed) that could cover those sorts of questions and then just ad-lib if the questions come up. Personally, I'm sure it looks much better to be able to launch into an answer for those sorts of questions rather than sitting around for 30 seconds trying to quickly think of an example.

Also, think ahead to the "negative" type questions that people seem to enjoy asking - greatest weakness, areas that need developing, things like that and make sure you answer them in a way that still sounds positive - I.E suggest it, but follow up by saying how you feel you can make it better and some actions you are taking to improve it.

Although dependant on the company (Size etc) they might not ask any of that and just be using the interview to feel you out and get an idea of your personality etc, never hurts to have an idea of potential answers to those sorts of questions though.

EDIT - and good luck!!
