The Social Networking Kata

Implement a console-based social networking application (similar to Twitter) satisfying the scenarios below.

Scenarios

Posting: Alice can publish messages to a personal timeline

> Alice -> I love the weather today    
> Bob -> Damn! We lost!     
> Bob -> Good game though.    

Reading: Bob can view Alice’s timeline

> Alice    
> I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)    
> Bob    
> Good game though. (1 minute ago)     
> Damn! We lost! (2 minutes ago)  

Following: Charlie can subscribe to Alice’s and Bob’s timelines, and view an aggregated list of all subscriptions

> Charlie -> I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee?     
> Charlie follows Alice    
> Charlie wall    
> Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee? (2 seconds ago)    
> Alice - I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)    
> Charlie follows Bob    
> Charlie wall    
> Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee? (15 seconds ago)     
> Bob - Good game though. (1 minute ago)     
> Bob - Damn! We lost! (2 minutes ago)     
> Alice - I love the weather today (5 minutes ago) 

General requirements

  • Application must use the console for input and output;
  • User submits commands to the application:
    • posting: <user name> -> <message>
    • reading: <user name>
    • following: <user name> follows <another user>
    • wall: <user name> wall
  • Don't worry about handling any exceptions or invalid commands. Assume that the user will always type the correct commands. Just focus on the sunny day scenarios.
