Objective: This assessment is designed to evaluate your capabilities in front-end and back-end development and to prepare you for a live system design interview.

Part 1: Coding Challenge - Build a Simplified Code Collaboration Tool

Overview: Develop a basic version of a code collaboration tool similar to sharepad.io. This exercise focuses on integrating simple front-end and back-end functionalities without real-time collaboration features. You are allowed to use open-source libraries to complete this test :)

Requirements:

1. Code Editor:

   • Implement a simple code editor for writing and editing code. Syntax highlighting is optional but recommended.

2. Compilation and Execution:

   • Enable the application to compile and run code, supporting at least one programming language (e.g., Python or JavaScript).

3. Output Window:

   • Show compilation errors or statuses and display outputs from code execution, including any runtime errors.

Time Frame: You will have one week to complete this assignment, but it is expected that you spend no more than 5 hours on the actual coding portion of the task.

Part 2: System Design Interview Preparation

Overview: You will participate in a live system design interview, where you will be asked to design a large-scale distributed system with a web front-end capable of managing substantial user traffic.

Preparation Tips:

1. Understand Basic Components:

   • Familiarize yourself with key system design elements.

2. Scalability and Reliability:

   • Consider how systems scale and various strategies to handle load increases.

3. High-Level Architecture:

   • Be prepared to discuss the high-level architecture of complex system. Be able to explain your choices and alternatives.

4. Problem Solving:

   • Practice structuring your thoughts and solutions clearly and logically. Be ready to discuss trade-offs and justify your design decisions during the interview.

Submission Guidelines:

• Submit your code for Part 1 via a GitHub repository link, including a README with setup and operation instructions.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Code clarity, organization, and quality.
• Functionality and correctness of implemented features.

This assessment reflects the kinds of challenges you might face as a full stack developer at Vention and helps prepare you for the technical discussions in your upcoming live interview. Good luck!
