RAILS CHALLENGE
-
How did you decide on the technical and architectural choices used as part of your solution?
This challenge being a back-end, I decided to render data as JSON for all the actions.
-
Are there any improvements you could make to your submission?
I would have liked to implement service objects to perform all the actions. But as the back-end part of this application was very simple, I did not have to.
-
What would you do differently if you were allocated more time?
I would have implement service objects.
-
How long did it truly take you to complete the challenge?
I complete the rails part of the challenge in about 4 hours. Spend most of the time setting up the test specs.
REACT CHALLENGE
-
How did you decide on the technical and architectural choices used as part of your solution?
I noticed you, at DoubleGDP, work with Material UI so I decided to use it to complete the challenge. I also used the React Router module as it makes it easy to navigate between the components.
-
Are there any improvements you could make to your submission?
I could have add tests to cover this front-end part and then better use the style API of Material UI library.
-
What would you do differently if you were allocated more time?
I would have done this challenge from scratch with pure HTML/CSS.
