Problem Statement for Interviews

We love to challenge our candidates, so we ask that you complete this assignment as part of your application. You can take as much time as you like to complete the assignment. Please get back to us whenever you’re done.

The focus of the solution is on the quality of your code, rather than the time required to complete it.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Instructions

If you are applying for iOS

• We would suggest that you that you build a native app using Swift.
• Objective-C would do too, but we would prefer Swift.
• We prefer code that is modular and testable. And this sometimes requires you to go beyond MVC and dive into MVVM, MVP and others.

If you are applying for Android

• We would suggest that you build a native app with Java.
• We prefer that you use MVP or even MVVM.
• It would also be great if you could use Android data binding APIs

If you are applying for Node.js

• We would suggest that you write in ES6/ES7 in latest version of nodejs (6.x.x+).
• Follow a JavaScript style guide.
• Make sure your code is reusable, testable and efficient.

If you are applying for React

• We would suggest that your write in ES6/ES7 & use a transpiler like Babel along with a module bundler like Webpack, Rollup, Browserify etc.
• We would prefer that you use Flux or Redux as your store.

Super bonus

• For adding test coverage to anything that you submit.

The Problem

You need to build out a small application to fetch the weather forecast of multiple cities

Step 1 : Get an API Key

• Head over to OpenWeatherMap and register for an account
• Once you are in, go to your personal page and get the API key

Step 2

• The app should accept multiple city names from the user
• Based on the city names entered, the app should show the the weather forecast for the 14 days for each city

Step 3

• Find the current city using GPS
• Display the weather forecast for the current city for 14 days

Step 4

• When you’re ready, push the latest source code to Github (or any other free git repo) and send us a link
