Capital One's Engineering Summit Programming Challenge 2019

Build a web app to find trivia questions by category

Update 01/06/2020

JQuery out of date; I have no intentions of changing the code, however.

Technologies used

PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, JQuery, MySQL

Features

  • Users are able to log in; passwords are stored securely via hashing/salting
  • Logged in users can save questions to a favorites collection
  • Users and non-users can simulate a Jeopardy board
  • Use of jService's search API to match categories with a user's queries in real time (non-mobile only)
    • This was done through web scraping in pure Javascript
  • Inspired by flat UI

Website

Hosted on Amazon Web Services's free micro instance (AWS): http://ec2-3-19-227-64.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/~felixhu/CapitalOne/search.php

Notice

Searching, loading the game board simulation, and the category refiner may experience some latency due to calling for large amounts of data from the jService API.
