Ruby on Rails Developer Applicants Test

To understand your coding ability and style, we have devised a simple practical coding test. We use this as a dicussion topic during interviews and may use it as a sample of your knowledge when presenting your profile to customers.

Objective:

• Make this data searchable

#Minimum requirements:

• Implementation must use Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and HTML (all three)
• Search logic should be implemented in Ruby on Rails
• A search for Lisp Common should match a programming language named "Common Lisp"
• Your solution will be tested on a server running Ubuntu, Ruby 2.1 and Rails 4.2.0
• Deliver your solution as a zip or tar.gz file
• We will unpack your solution and run it from our server

Meriting:

• Writing code with reusability in mind
• Search match precision
• Search results ordered by relevance
• Support for exact matches, eg. Interpreted "Thomas Eugene", which should match "BASIC", but not "Haskell"
• Match in different fields, eg. Scripting Microsoft should return all scripting languages designed by "Microsoft"
• Support for negative searches, eg. john -array, which should match "BASIC", "Haskell", "Lisp" and "S-Lang", but not "Chapel", "Fortran" or "S".
• Solution elegance
• Visual design

Keep in mind:

• Frameworks are allowed, but not required. ** If you use a framework, please do not include the framework code. Write instructions allowing us to install the framework by ourselves (and where to add your code).
• Comments are VERY useful, they help us understand your thought process
• This exercise is not meant to take more than a few hours
• A readme file is encouraged

Requirement

• Ruby 2.1.6
• PostreSQL

Assumptions

• We assume that partial words should be compared

Deploy

Standard RoR application deploy. Do not forget to seed the database.

TODO

• Add checkbox case (un)sensitive
• Add colorizing the found search words
• Add design ;-)
