Quarter 2 Test

This will be a demonstration of your understanding of the topics covered in HTTP/APIs Level 3 and Databases Level 2. It will consist of a technical interview with an instructor or TA.

Technical interview

The instructor/TA will ask you to answer the following questions:

• Explain what REST is and what the typical RESTful architecture consists of
  • Student should be able to write a set of fake documentation for the 4 main HTTP verbs of a hypothetical site, like a recipe organizer
• Explain what URL parameters and query parameters are, and how they're different from one another
• Explain what client-side and server-side rendering means, and how they're different from one another
• Explain the concept of a relational database.
• Explain the concept of a non-relational database.

Successfully answering these questions will pass off:

• HTTP/APIs Level 3
• Databases Level 2

Retaking the test

If for some reason you're not able to pass the technical interview, you will have another chance to pass off this level at a later time in the near future (probably Monday), and will be required to meet with a mentor or tutor to prepare for retaking the test.
