IGN's Code-Foo 2014

IGN's Code-Foo program is a part time, summer opportunity for engineers at our San Francisco office location. From ~mid-July to ~mid-August, those accepted into the program will work alongside the current engineering staff learning about the IGN tech stack and coding with the team on active projects.

To apply to IGN's Code-Foo 2014, fork this repository and submit responses for questions #1-#3 and at least one of #4-6.

Push your answers to your fork and send us an email at [email protected] to let us know you're finished.

All answers must be completed at least partially using HTML/CSS, JavaScript Java, Scala, PHP, and/or Ruby. Other programs used should be explained and justified for fit.

Application must be turned in by Monday, May 5th at 5pm PST. Happy hacking.


Required, 1 - 3:

1. Create a 2-5 minute video introducing yourself and showing your passion for IGN and the Code-Foo program.

2. How many gamers are in the San Francisco Bay Area? Describe each step in your thought process.

3. Crossword:
