You are required to develop a solution for this coding assignment in three components:

$($a$)$ A solution database which appropriately models the data required for the coding

assignment. The solution database may be implemented using either MySQL or

MongoDB.

$($b$)$ A solution REST API that provides CRUD functionality for interacting with the solution

database. The API may be implemented using PHP or NodeJS$/$Express$.$

$($c$)$ A User Interface $($UI$)$ which demonstrates $($i$)$ consumption of the REST API and $($ii$)$

implements the requested functionality detailed in the assignment brief that follows. You

may implement your UI using PHP$,$ a JavaScript or HTML framework $($Plain HTML$,$ React$)$

or using ExpressJS in conjunction with a templating engine of your choosing.

Note that you do not have to use the same programming language throughout. It is

perfectly acceptable to use PHP$,$ say, to implement the UI and NodeJS$/$ExpressJS to

implement the REST API, or vice versa. Or you may choose to develop an entirely PHP

solution. It is important, however, that there is clear separation between the REST API and

the UI that consumes the API.

Components $($a$),($b$)$ and $($c$)$ are equally weighted at $10\%$ for a fully functioning solution.

You may decide to focus on one, two or three components. However, an important

constraint for this assignment is that the components must be interoperable $($work

together$)$ in order to secure maximum marks. Fully functional, standalone components

will not receive $10\%$; they will receive $5\%$ maximum, with the remaining $5\%$ allocated to

functioning correctly in a complete solution context.
