Included in this repository are files to support candidates applying for software engineering roles through the GSA's U.S. Digital Corps program.

There are three files in this repository we would like you to focus on:

1. This README.
2. tester.html: An HTML file that will run your code.
3. book_search.js: A JavaScript source code file that you should edit for your assessment submission.

Testing your code

You will need to open the file tester.html in a browser to run the code that is contained in book_search.js. The output from running that code will appear in the browser's web developer console. Here is documentation for opening the web developer tools for Firefox:

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/browser_console/index.html#:~:text=You%20can%20open%20the%20Browser,%2B%20J%20on%20a%20Mac

And here are the instructions for Google Chrome:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/open/

Either should work; we tested under both on Mac and Linux.

You will submit both the HTML and JavaScript files when you are done. You should not need to edit tester.html. We expect all of your work to appear in the file book_search.js.

Submission

Directions for submission are in the prompt. As a reminder, you should commit your code to a repository called

firstnamelastname-usdc-2023

If you were remarkable technologists of years past, you might name your repository

otisboykin-usdc-2023

or

mariebrown-usdc-2023

You, of course, should name your repository for the remarkable technologist of civic tech's future that you are.
