Alogent Digital Code Assessment

Application Description

The following application is a system that allows users to post small notes on their boards. For this exercise, added and removed data needs to only last as long as the web host is online.

The total set of deliverables as outlined would likely take 3 or 4 hours. Only spend one hour on the assessment and get done what you can. You will not be judged on the amount of code completed, only on the quality of the code turned in. A project that doesn't compile or that fails any unit tests will not be accepted.

There is an initial "seed" of data that is stored in a json file. You can use this file to be your data store or you can store everything in-memory for the purposes of this assignment. The file is deleted and restored at each run of the application.

This should run without anything other than Visual Studio or IIS.
