The webapp is deployed on heroku: uber-test-mailer.herokuapp.com

I choosed backend/full stack track, since in my current product (Family.me), I have been working mostly on backend & middle layer, built a private social network from scratch, providing REST API for frontend/mobile team. I’m also involved in some frontend work in family.me so I have experience with HTML5,CSS3 and Backbone. The frame work I use is Ruby on Rails, which I’ve been used for ~3 years and feel pretty comfortable. Python is surely another elegant language that I’ve used back in school.

I could make the email service a REST API, return JSON response upon request in the controller. But in this prototype I just redirected to the current page for simplicity. For the frontend I used HTML5 to do the form validation. If there’s more time, I’d like to use Backbone to organize the data and do the validation. For the popup message I could also use a nice popup instead of rails flash.
