First impressions are important, second impressions are everything. So it’s time for some action. Let’s stop talking and get some serious coding done. After all, that’s what makes the world go round!

With the following assignment, you can show us what you got. The case tests your competences regarding development and gives us an idea of how well you come up with solutions.

Scenario

A client wants a website where you can easily search for movie trailers and reviews from various online channels.
