+# Practical Exam – Cat Shop
+
+You have the task to create an application for cats. The application should hold **cats**, which are the main app **entities**. The app is called **CatShop**.
+
+The functionality of the application should support **creating**, **listing, editing**, **deleting** cats.
+
+The application should **persist** the data into a MySQL **database**.
+
+## Overview
+
+Your application should be built on **each one **of the **following technologies**:
+
+### JavaScript
+
+* **NodeJS **+** ExpressJS **frameworks
+
+* **Handlebars.js **view engine
+
+* **Sequelize **ORM
+
+* **MySQL **database
+
+### PHP
+
+* **Symfony **framework
+
+* **Twig **view engine
+
+* **Doctrine** ORM
+
+* **MySQL **database
+
+### Java
+
+* **Spring **framework (**Spring MVC** + **Spring Boot** + **Spring Data**)
+
+* **Thymeleaf **view engine
+
+* **JPA **/ **Hibernate ORM **+** Spring Data **data access
+
+* **MySQL **database
+
+### C#
+
+* **ASP.NET Core **framework (**ASP.NET MVC** + **Entity Framework Core**)
+
+* **Razor **view engine
+
+* **Entity Framework Core **ORM
+
+* **MySQL **database
+
+## Data Model
+
+The **Cat** entity holds **4 properties**:
+
+* **id** – technology-dependent identifier (**ObjectID** for JavaScript, **int** for all other technologies)
+
+* **name** – non-empty text
+
+* **nickname**** **– non-empty text
+
+* **price** – double
+
+## Skeletons
+
+You will be given the applications’ **skeletons**, which holds about **90%** of the logic. You’ll be given some **files** (**controllers**, **models** etc.). The files will have** partially implemented logic**, so you’ll need to write some code for the application to **function properly**.
+
+The application’s views will be given to you fully implemented. You only need to include them in your business logic.
+
+**Each technology** will have its **own skeleton**, and the **different** **skeletons** may **differ** in **terms** of **what is given to you** and **what is to be implemented**.
+
+Everything that has been given to you inside the skeleton is **correctly implemented **and if you write your code **correctly**, the application should work just fine. You are free to change anything in the Skeleton on your account.
+
+## User Interface
+
+This is the user interface or how the application’s pages should look in their final form (fully implemented). You have several pages, described below:
+
+### Index Page
+
+#### Route: **"/"**
+
+Displays **all** the **cats** from the database with** options **to **edit **or **delete** them.
+

+
+### Create Page
+
+#### Route: **"/create"**
+
+![image alt text](../images/image_1.png)
+
+### Edit Page
+
+#### Route: **"/edit/{id}"**
+
+![image alt text](../images/image_2.png)
+
+### Delete Page
+
+#### Route: **"/delete/{id}"**
+
+![image alt text](../images/image_3.png)
+
+## Problem
+
+As you can see the different pages are on different routes. Most of the routing logic will be given to you in the **Skeleton**, but you should make sure that the application **works properly**.
+
+Implement the "**CatShop" app** using all the above described **4 technologies**.
+
+## Setup
+
+Before you start working, make sure you **download all the dependencies** (packages) required for each technology and **set up** the **databases**! Below are instructions on how to do this:
+
+### PHP and Symfony
+
+1. Go into the **root directory** of the project (where the **bin** folder resides)
+
+2. Make sure you’ve started your **MySQL server** (either from **XAMPP** or standalone)
+
+3. Open a **shell** / **command prompt** /** PowerShell** window in the **root directory**: [Shift] + [Right click] ➔ [Open command window here]
+
+4. Enter the "**php composer.phar install**" command to restore its **Composer dependencies** (described in **composer.json**)
+
+5. Enter the "**php bin/console doctrine:database:create --if-not-exists**" command
+
+6. Done!
+
+### JavaScript and Node.js
+
+1. Go into the **root directory** of the project (where the **bin** folder resides)
+
+2. Open a **shell** / **command prompt** /** PowerShell** window in the **root directory**: [Shift] + [Right click] ➔ [Open command window here]
+
+3. Enter the "**npm install**" command to restore its **Node.js dependencies** (described in **package.json**)
+
+4. Create the database needed manually, using the command prompt or your database GUI. 
+
+5. Done!
+
+### C# and ASP.NET
+
+The C# project will automatically resolve its **NuGet dependencies** (described in **packages.config**) using the NuGet package restore when the project is built.
+
+### Java and Spring MVC
+
+The Java project will automatically resolve its **Maven dependencies** (described in **pom.xml**) when the project is built.
