iris_dev_exercise

Overview

This is a simple exercise designed to assess a developers coding and decision skills. By it's nature the exercise is vague and open-ended - we are interested to see how you approach and solve the challenge, and what assumptions you make. You will be asked about your coding decisions during the interview.

Tasks

  1. Clone/fork this repository
  2. Build a simple web application as outlined below
  3. Commit to Github
  4. In a new file SPECS.md explain your design decisions, assumptions, etc.

Web Application Specification

IRIS commonly works with earthquake data. We would like you to use the data provided by the IRIS Event Web Service to create a web-based application that displays earthquake locations on a map.

Specifically, when the user clicks any location on the map, we want earthquake locations within 1000 km of that location to be plotted.
