Code Quiz

Welcome to the Code Quiz Open Source project from How To Code Well.

This is an Open Source project that includes an API and an App for the daily code quizzes.

The daily code quizzes are published to Instagram and Twitter. This GitHub project is under development and will eventually allow access to the quizzes via a JSON API, Mobile app and website.

This Monorepo contains the following three projects.

1. API - A Symfony 6, PHP 8 and Maria DB backend.
2. API-Client - A NPM package for mock testing the API.
3. App - A Mobile application that displays code quizzes.
4. Website - A Website that displays code quizzes.

Project development

This project is being developed live on YouTube most Tuesdays at 6pm BST and most Sundays on Twitch.
