Same kind of general advice you're going to get anywhere, but..

Review the job listing. Make sure you know what you applied for, and how your skills match with what they're looking for. Do a minor technical review based on what the listing mentions you'll be doing for the position. (My company loves asking technical questions during interviews.) Take a deep breath and give yourself a second to gather your thoughts when asked a question. It's better to take that moment than to look like you're fumbling for an answer. Dress nicely. Even if the workplace is casual, you want to look professional - first impressions matter. Be on time.
