Brian's exercise

[BrianPiere]

The Project Readme asked for the following versions in the pull request.

Node version: 4.4.3
MongoDB Version: Not sure how to find this with Mlab.com. Their Mongo Shell is limited.
You'll see the DB "connection string" within a text file in Git
/server/dbconnection

Remaining Issues
This task was a lot of fun and it pushed me to the limit as far as what I could accomplish within this time frame. It was hard to get the ball rolling without an app creator. There are three things that I came up short on.

• Date Pickers: This was the big one I missed because it was a project requirement. However the application is still working correctly with manual dates (using text-fields). The validation routines wouldn't change after integrating a Date Picker component because they would simply populate the text fields (as an add-on helper).
• Unit Testing: It wasn't technically a requirement on the Readme.md but still it's expected on any serious project. The remaining work is left as a set of un-checked entries on my Task List.
• CSS Styling: I was going to use Styled Components as an exercise (first time). I just put some really basic stuff inline for now. I'm sure that I won't get any points on looks :)
