This my skills assesment for Apple, Inc.
The goal is demonstrate that I can build a Rails application, and follow some requirements. My intention was not to produce a production worthy application.
There are comments throughout the code to indicate possible strategies that I might discuss with a team when building a bigger corporate/enterprise Rails appication.
Also, I wasn't sure if I was expected to alter the requirements which were said in a separate e-email to be open to interpretation. Asking a user for an address in order to get a weather forecast, so it can then be cached by a zipcode felt like unessary steps when the forecast could be had by asking for a less specific location like city or zipcode.
