It's a private project, but basically:

A PHP endpoint that received a POST request of some sort, and then I would return something based on that, a very primitive REST service and a C# application would act accordingly, and it would log the data to a MySQL database. It was meant to allow us at my old job to keep track of who used our computer lab, it wasn't meant to be overly secure on the front-end, if they figure out how to break behind the application we weren't worried about those cases, only the case where our database was compromised.

I think the more important bits of my interview were just our overall conversation, the code just showed I wasn't all talk really. He liked the answers I gave and the rest is history. That was 1 year and 1 day ago. Still working at my "first real job" as most people call it. My previous job was part time and at a school so I didn't do many programming projects.
