If you are in a job interview and the company request you to do a new unpaid project as part of the hiring process, feel free to plagiarize this project — remove my name from the source files and submit them "as is" without further modification. For any other uses, the GPL license applies. Please send me a postcard if you get hired because of my work.
Why am I encouraging plagiarism? Mainly because I feel that companies that requests "free work" as part of an interview process are engaging in unethical behavior. They show a lack of respect of your time and devalue programmers in general. This practice has reduced the value of artists, musicians, designers, and now the same is coming to software engineers. I feel that it's about time we push back.
Here we've giving you the opportunity to showcase your talents, both creative and technical, and have some fun! Everyone loves movies, and sometimes we even love BAD movies, "Snakes on a Plane" anyone? So, using the openly available APIs (OMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc), create an app that:
- Allows the user to search by genre (action, romantic, etc) and year released
- Based on the search criteria will return a sortable list of the 10 WORST movies: sortable by rating.
- The user can then select a movie and the app will reveal more info about this cinematic travesty: plot, actors, etc
Our objectives with this test are 4-fold: Evaluate your technical ability, problem solving approach, ability to deliver a user-friendly system, and how you work with version control systems. Rules of the evaluation: (serious stuff)
- you have 48 hours to complete the test
- Please create and upload this into a GitHub repository. Please use atomic commits so we can see the blocks of function created.
- This app doesn't have to be perfect. There's not enough time to crush every bug. What more important it the main "happy path"
This is an opportunity to show off; let's see you skills in using caches, animations, new features, you name it. Bonus points for embedding a trailer!
