In case you haven’t had a chance to dive into this release, here are the top 5 things you need to know: ## 1. Interview in a multi-file environment Spin up full applications and get more [creative with your interview questions.](https://coderpad.io/blog/interviewing/interview-questions-senior-front-end-engineering/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=nl&utm_campaign=22-Q4-Email-Newsletter-BOFU-All-EMEA-Product-Oct&utm_content=frameworks&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8MS8CI-0CI4dD_4psrbtEHvYvhbGeS7aeGZIegYsGR8KuIKtRdm8B3kdNEtSuIg36PhfAQ) See if your candidates have the specific skills needed to succeed on your team. ## 2. More realistic interviewing Leverage Ruby (Rails), Node (Express), Java (Spring), Python (Django), and Go (Gin) to run interviews that mimic how your developers work every day. These back-end multi-file frameworks follow our front-end frameworks releases in 2022: React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and HTML/CSS/JS. ## 3. Easily use multiple questions and languages in a single interview Structure your interview to leverage multiple questions, and even different language environments to test for a variety of skills relevant to the job. ## 4. Shell, console, and logs for multi-file frameworks Access your application, install packages, and run commands.

API Request Client Run more interesting and realistic interviews in any Back-end framework, using our built-in API request client. Ask candidates to build, test and debug APIs, or work with cookies. Note: the API client is being rolled out in phases. If it’s not available in your company’s backend pads yet, you’ll see it soon! ## Here’s some inspiration to get started using CoderPad multi-file frameworks: - [Engineer’s Guide to Multi-File Frameworks](https://coderpad.io/resources/docs/interview/coderpad-quick-start-guides/multi-file-frameworks-for-engineers/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8MS8CI-0CI4dD_4psrbtEHvYvhbGeS7aeGZIegYsGR8KuIKtRdm8B3kdNEtSuIg36PhfAQ) - [Talent Acquisition’s Guide to Multi-File Frameworks](https://coderpad.io/resources/docs/interview/coderpad-quick-start-guides/multi-file-frameworks-for-talent-acquisition-teams/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8MS8CI-0CI4dD_4psrbtEHvYvhbGeS7aeGZIegYsGR8KuIKtRdm8B3kdNEtSuIg36PhfAQ) - [How to Create Interactive Animated Backgrounds in React with tsParticles](https://coderpad.io/blog/development/interactive-animated-backgrounds-react-tsparticles/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8MS8CI-0CI4dD_4psrbtEHvYvhbGeS7aeGZIegYsGR8KuIKtRdm8B3kdNEtSuIg36PhfAQ) ## Subscribe for more CoderPad insights ## Trending Articles Previous slide Next slide [Product Updates ## Your Question Bank Is Leaking.
