Group Project

For our group project iteration 1 we had to do something very similar to our individual project. We needed to fetch a static file from our web server and integrate it into our web page using xmlhttprequest, identify use cases, state what web service API's we plan to use, and a project plan.

When our group was first formed we had some trouble deciding what type of site to create. Initially we thought of working with the game API's but it was difficult to find ones that we could actually use. After some time we came up with a new idea for our site. We found a great API about wine and wineries that we can use. Our plan is to take the Wine.com API with the Google Maps API and form a mashup to show winery locations over the map, and the Blogger Data API with ZoomClouds API as a mashup for blogging with a tag cloud.

Iteration 1 is now complete and we are looking forward to incorporating the API's into our web page. We are happy that we have an idea that will hopefully work for our group project. Here is an image of how our site looks so far.
