quizzes

This app exposes an API for a simple quiz appication.

Your mission: build a one-page app using (at least) jQuery, Javascript, and AJAX to render questions to the user, allow her to submit answers, tell her whether or not her submitted answer was correct, and give her her final correct / incorrect tally.

APIs

Get Quizzes

Request

GET /quizzes.json

Response

{
  quizzes: [
    {
      quiz_id: 1,
      name: "Random Stuff"
    },
    {
      quiz_id: 2,
      name: "Javascript Questions"

Get Next Question

Request

GET /quizzes/1/questions/next.json

Request Data

Every request (except listing quizzes) must pass a "session_key" which uniquely identifies the particular user taking the quiz. The session key should be a unique string. Simply generate something unique-ish from Javascript and be sure to package it along with any other data you send to the API.

{ session_key: 'a124f87dec55da23' }

Response

{
  question: {
    quiz_id: 1,
    question_id: 1,
    question: "Did your mom go to college?",
    choices: [
      {
        quiz_id: 1,
        question_id: 1,
        choice_id: 12,
        choice: "Yes"
