Assessment Developer - Secret message

At CablesAndKits we primarily use PHP for our development.

We're very interested to see how you develop. Having something in a working fashion is secondary to be being able to explain why you did what you did.

This is because we believe that anyone can learn a language, framework and ecosystem surrounding a language/framework. The hard parts are explaining choices you made, following design patterns and writing human-readable code.

Requirements

• Use Git versioning system
• You must include instructions on how to run your application.
• It should be able to run on the latest PHP and MySQL/sqlite.

Make sure to upload your project to Github and provide us with the (public) link to be able to clone it.

Spend an approximate maximum of 4 hours on the assignment

Remember: your choices of how to work matter more than the final product

Optional things

• Use a framework of choice
• If instructions are needed for us to run your project, make sure to include them in the ReadMe
• Have the project be (partially) tested
