Pungle Tech screening test!

Intro

Thanks for your interest in Pungle! Our technical interview process involves candidates doing an at-home (or at work, or at Starbucks) project to test your reasoning and problem solving abilities, while also giving the candidate a chance to write code in a way that is comfortable for them. Once the screening test is submitted, our team will go over the answers and invite promising candidates into our work space for an in-person technical, where we will go over the technical decisions made in the test!

This test should take about 2 hours. If you take less time, no problem! If you take more time, that's cool too but don't spend more than 3 hours working on this. Using Google/StackOverflow/TorontoJS/whatever for help is allowed, but ultimately you should write and be able to justify every piece of the code being submitted.

Directions

Answer any 2 of the 3 options below. Each question is testing knowledge in different libraries/domains.

CSS is growing up

About 4 years ago I was trying to figure out whether to use LESS or Sass. I could use Codekit or even switch to Espresso to get automatic compilation and updates!

We ended up using LESS, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you why. A bit later Grunt and Gulp came out to make things even easier. Somehow during this time I switched to Scss, and didn't really look back.

This represented a huge step forward in dealing with CSS. We could nest selectors, split them into smaller files, use variables, use mixins! It was amazing and made life a ton easier.

Learning Javascript

Disclaimer: this is pretty stream-of-consciousness and was written pretty quickly. I'll clarify it over time, as I get feedback on parts that are confusing.

If you're TOTALLY new to Javascript, use my article as a companion to Codecademy's Javascript Introduction

I taught myself Javascript. By that I mean, I muddled through it for a few years until I realized that I could probably make myself more employable if actually figured how to do more complicated things.

Since I never understood the foundations of JS, I always found myself frustrated because my code wouldn't work as I expected. Mainly, I was used to jQuery API, and didn't quite grasp that the language was more complicated than $('div').something().
