Take home assessment for the Web Developer role at Canonical

Blog Post

This is a take-home assessment for the Web Developer role at Canonical.

This test was written with NodeJS for the back-end and ExpressJS for the front-end. NodeJS as it's the only server-side Javascript environment I know, and ExpressJS due to it's simple HTML templates which combines vanilla HTML and CSS usage, with the ability to creatie dynamic content in a component-like manner. This makes ExpressJS the perfect method for learning frameworks and front-to-back end communication, as well as also being my first introduction into server-side rendering. HTTP requests are handled by the axios package due to its simple use of promises and is also what I've been using in my personal projects and I feel comfortable with.

For a full list of dependencies please consult the package.json file.
