Challenges/Blockers Encountered

• checkout/cart API POST Request: I did not have the httpBody set correctly. I did spend a few hours trying to work through the issue before reaching out for help. Thanks to Rachel and Chris for assistance in getting this resolved quickly.

• checkout/cart API redirect: The POST request uses a redirect to provide the updated cart information. I had not dealt with this before, there was a bit of a learning exercise using the AFNetworking library to handle the redirect.

Time Summary

In total I spent ~14 hours on this project. About 4-5 hours of those hours were spent working through the challenges and blockers mentioned above.

Notes

Other than testing as I went, I did not employ unit tests in the project. This would certainly be a beneficial addition especially for testing the API and web services.

I would like to improve the Product related models, specifically the CartProduct model. I found there were 3 flavors of product data returned through the various APIs. There is probably room to unify the models a bit.
