For our mobile applications (iPad, iPhone and Android) we have to serve up different image advertisements to each different device. Generally our advertisers purchase their space for a month of time, but at times can be for only set periods of times. Sometimes they order for all three devices and other times for only one or two. Finally, each advertisement has a specific URL that the user should go to when they click on the advertisement. We need you to describe how you’d build a small application to serve up these advertisements. You don’t need to write line by line code, but be able to describe the architecture of the system from a high level. Be prepared to describe: ● How would you serve up the mobile advertisements? ● How would the data for each advertisement be stored (i.e., what does the database look like)? ● How would you track how many times the advertisement has been viewed or clicked?
