Generation Take-Home Coding Challenge

This is a take-home coding challenge used to help evaluate candidates interested in joining the team at Generation. The goal is for candidates to complete the coding challenge before the in-person interview so that we can discuss the solution together. In cases where this is not possible, we may discuss the solution together over a followup phone call.

What should you expect?

We expect that the exercise will take anywhere from 2-5 hours to complete depending on your familiarity with React and with the GoogleMaps API.

We understand that this is a significant amount of time so we really appreciate the effort you put into it.

How should you submit your code?

Any way you want - email us a zip, a link to your personal repo, etc. Please include a couple screenshots of the app.

What if I don't know React?

Feel free to submit a solution that meets the requirements, but without using React. React is an important part of our stack and you'll be using it every day so it's important that you're excited to learn it! If you don't know React and you're able to learn the basics in order to complete the exercise, we'll be impressed :)

Here's a great React tutorial

This one is also great.

How do you start?

Clone the repo on your computer

Run

npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:3000

Read the intro and next steps on localhost:3000 Edit src/YourComponent.js.
Your changes will appear without reloading the browser like in this video.
