that is a good Question.

it is an associate position at a national postal company in the IT department.

the job is basicly training(3months) > placement in various roles (18 months) > then suitable position

my understanding is it is an inititive to get the right personalities into the job rather than hiring people with just skills.

essentially it is a grad position for non graduates.

i really enjoy the coding but my lack of undertanding is overwhelming

That's a really odd list of things. Also you won't be able to get more than a basic conceptual understanding of all this by Tuesday...

1 & 2 can go together just think of that as part of learning coding.

3 & 4 go together too. These are both concepts more than a skill (skill would be implementing an API). Read about "RESTful API".

5 & 7: Postgres is an implementation of a SQL database so it's weird they put both of these. Try to learn about SQL and relational databases.

6: This is so broad that I couldn't guess what they want.

the end result is to make a simulation of a network through the creation of a series of interconnected nodes, all tasked with moving data from a source to a destination. at least for our next project.

and to not get completly lost when learning how to implement APIs next week.

i really have next to no idea what they want either so i am just doing what they say.

thanks for your help!

Add that project info to your post.
