A technical challenge we give to our Ruby on Rails applicants in order to evaluate their coding proficiency. Job description: http://www.alphasights.com/positions/ruby-developer-london or http://www.alphasights.com/positions/ruby-developer-new-york

Alphasights Technical Challenge

Using Ruby on Rails we would like you to create a simple expert search tool. The application should fulfill the requirements below. The source code must be placed in a public repo on GitHub. The application should be deployable on Heroku.

  • I enter a name and a personal website address and a member is created.
  • When a member is created, all the heading (h1-h3) values are pulled in from the website to that members profile.
  • The website url is shortened (e.g. using http://goo.gl)
  • After the member has been added, I can define their friendships with other existing members. Friendships are bi-directional i.e. If David is a friend of Oliver, Oliver is always a friend of David as well.
  • The interface should list all members with their name, short url and the number of friends e.g. Alan http://goo.gl/3io1P (3)
