Social Networking Kata

Implement a console-based social networking application (similar to Twitter) satisfying the scenarios below.

Scenarios

Posting: Alice can publish messages to a personal timeline

> Alice -> I love the weather today
> Bob -> Damn! We lost!
> Bob -> Good game though.

Reading: Bob can view Alice’s timeline

> Alice
> I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)
> Bob
> Good game though. (1 minute ago)
> Damn! We lost! (2 minutes ago)

Following: Charlie can subscribe to Alice’s and Bob’s timelines, and view an aggregated list of all subscriptions

> Charlie -> I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee?
> Charlie follows Alice
> Charlie wall
> Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee? (2 seconds ago)
> Alice - I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)

> Charlie follows Bob
> Charlie wall
> Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee? (15 seconds ago)
> Bob - Good game though. (1 minute ago)
> Bob - Damn! We lost! (2 minutes ago)
> Alice - I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)

General requirements

• Application must use the console for input and output;
• User submits commands to the application:
  • posting: <user name> -> <message>
  • reading: <user name>
  • following: <user name> follows <another user>
  • wall: <user name> wall
• Don't worry about handling any exceptions or invalid commands. Assume that the user will always type the correct commands. Just focus on the sunny day scenarios.
• Use whatever language and frameworks you want. (provide instructions on how to run the application)
• NOTE: "posting:", "reading:", "following:" and "wall:" are not part of the command. All commands start with the user name.

IMPORTANT: Implement the requirements focusing on writing the best code you can produce.

CODE SUBMISSION: Add the code to your own Github account and send us the link.

HOW TO USE

Since the project is build using Gradle, we suggest to run the following commands for building and running the application:

• ./gradlew assemble
• ./gradlew test
• check the results here: build/reports/tests/index.html
• if all right, than:
  • java -cp build/libs/xpepper.jar xpr.Twitter
  • enjoy it!

Feel free to use some other technique for building, testing and running the app.

Cheers,
