Uber interview questions

Please find our standard web test below! Code Test! Bam! Uber clients are able to store favorite locations for easy pickup requests. Create a backend and a frontend for managing favorite locations. This is a simple exercise, but organize, design and test your code as if it were going into production. When you’re done, host it somewhere and provide us with a URL and a tarball or Git repo with the code. Backend Using the language (Python preferred), libraries and data store of your choosing, create a JSON in/out RESTful API for managing favorite locations. Stay away from Django or Rails, but microframeworks like Flask (preferred), Sinatra or Express are fine. Attributes of a favorite location object include: id, lat, lng, address (e.g. 800 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94114), name (e.g. Work) Frontend Using JavaScript, Backbone.js and any other libraries of your choosing, create an interface to access the API. User should be able to: Create a new location Read/view a location, and a collection of all locations Update an existing location Delete a location The UX is up to you, with a couple of constraints: Incorporate a map Geocode the address so the user is not required to enter lat/lng Extras If you like, get creative and do whatever else you like on the backend and/or frontend to show off.

We're expecting to expand to a new area, what would you do to promote this. Who would you invite and why.
