This repository is the engineering test for ICX Media engineering candidates. This readme will provide you with all the instructions necessary to complete the test, i.e prerequisites for the project, how to ask clarifying questions, complete the test, and submit the test to ICX.
In the languages listed below, take the .csv file in the data/ directory and productionize a webservice to read in the CSV file and output it in JSON. Furthermore, once the data is in a JSON format, present the data in a creative way to the end-user.
We look at the test based on the following criteria (in no particular order)
- The ability to follow instructions
- Understanding of source control systems
- Quality of code submission
- In the language of your choice from the languages listed below, take the provided CSV and create HTTP endpoints that return the following:
- a user entry, given an ID as a path param, e.g.
http://<yourapp>/users/user/1 - a list of users by age range given
min_ageandmax_agequery paramaters, e.g.http://<yourapp>/users/age?min_age=22&max_age=65
- a list of users within 5 mile radius of a given a lat,long coordinate,
e.g.
http://<yourapp>/users/loc?lat=38.900918&long=-77.035857
All results should be returned as JSON
- Present data from the CSV in a usable form to a user
- Create a service and a front-end to present the data.
- For front-end developers, mapping out locations using a JS map library such as Google Maps or Leaflet.
Although, we are flexible on the languages for this test, we have limited the amount of languages as to quicken the review process.
- Java
- Ruby
- Clojure
- Python
- JavaScript
- HTML
- Use of front-end JavaScript libraries, such as Bootstrap and jQuery, are strongly discouraged
- Several factors play into the evaluation of your submission, design, quality, completeness, timeliness
- All levels of skill and experience are given this test, please take the exercise as far as you can and submit
- No submission will be the same, so be perpared to walk us through all the aspects that contribute to your submission's evaluation (see above)
Review any of the Github issues to see if your question has already been asked and answered. If it has not been asked, submit a Github issue in this project and someone will answer your question as soon as possible.
