Reflections on the Process

Working Process

I built the API first and tested its functionality with curl scripts, on localhost, and in the rails console.

The front end consisted of forms and submit actions that fired the separate CRUD events of creating, updating, viewing, and deleting resources.

Unsolved Problems / Future Additions

1. Adding the ability to search by doctor's name.
2. Adding the ability to search which doctors are affiliated to a specific clinic.
