Interview Challenge 1

You have 24 hours from the receipt of this document to:

• Write the code to complete the challenge
• Push it up to a repository in GitHub or BitBucket
• Send us the url to the repository.

We expect to clone the repository, examine, and run your working code.

The Challenge

Create a NodeJS based ExpressJS server that responds to the following request with a responsive page.

• http://localhost:30000/cnnbrk-tweets

The cnnbrk-tweets page should list the last ten tweets from the @cnnbrk twitter handle. On a small screen (less than 600px wide), it should list all ten tweets in a single column. On a larger screen (greater than 600px wide), it should list all ten tweets divided into two columns.

small screen      larger screen
+----------+    +-------+-------+
|  tweet   |    | tweet | tweet |
|  tweet   |    | tweet | tweet |
|  tweet   |    | tweet | tweet |
|  tweet   |    +-------+-------+
|  tweet   |
|  tweet   |
+----------+

Assumptions

• NodeJS and npm are setup and running on the localhost. Your code does not need to account for installing NodeJS on systems that do not have it. You however, will need to install it to develop this.

• NodeJS is at least version 0.8.18 or higher.

Tips

• Do your best to impress us, your code passing jslint may help.

• Attention to detail is important.

Extra Credit

• Make the tweets from twitter that have links in them be clickable on your page.

• Modify the routing in ExpressJS to pull the top 10 tweets from any twitter handle that is in the url.

• Client side templates are cool.

Commands

• First of all get all packages: $ npm install

• To watch while you are developing (the compiled code goes to the .tmp directory): $ grunt watch

• To run all tests: $ grunt test

• To build the project (the result goes to the dist directory): $ grunt build
