Q 1 - You are designing an application in which a section of the main page will be populated by content from a third-party provider. You do not have control over the responsiveness of the client or how much information will be returned with each request. The call is to a Restful service and will return the information formatted in Extensible Markup Language (XML). What is the best way to implement this application?

B - Put a synchronous service call into the main page controller.

C - Create a partial view containing only this display area and put a synchronous service call in the partial view controller.

Q 2 - You have been given requirements for a dashboard page that will contain summary information from your order processing system in a single display table.

A - Make the various data requests and compile the information in the controller for display.

B - Create an individual model for each of the data requests, and then create a view- specific model that calls those models and merges the data.

They will take an additional year to move employees to the new system, one department at a time. How will this affect your design?

A - It won't; the requirements state that the application should talk directly to the HR systems' database.

B - You should ensure your naming convention for the database as clearly as possible so you can rework your data calls with minimal changes.

C - You should implement the Repository pattern with the current HR system being the first repository that is built. When the second system comes online, you implement that data access using the same pattern.
