I am really excited about the idea my group has come up with for out project. We are going to try to integrate four API’s that will give different information on a movie title that is entered into our application. As a big movie buff I thought of this idea and my group and Professor Drake thought it would be a good project to do. I really hope we can get it to work because I really like the concept.
What we are going to do for our project is create an application where a movie title is entered then information about the movie is pulled for the Internet Movie Database, DVD and other merchandizing information is pulled from Amazon and EBay and finally Netflix is checked to see if the DVD is availably there.
We have already started to look at the API’s we will need and it looks like we are in good shape there. Now comes the hard part of using Ajax to create our application. I am a little bit nervous about this part. Programming can be really hard and getting it all to work may be another challenge but I think my group is up to it and we will do well.

Very cool concept Leticia. I think that the project will be a big hit as most people often view IMDB first to read the synopsis of the movie and then check the other site to see it's availability and reviews. Great idea
ReplyDeleteLeticia, my group has the same feeling about the project. Finding websites to combine is the easy part but figuring out how to combine them is a little scary. I'm not much of a programmer and am not looking forward to doing this project.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note it does seem like one of those projects where after your done you feel very proud of yourself and your group for the work put into it.
This is a great idea for your group project. It can be difficult to put your ideas into action but the first step is to have the plan. Most of us in this class will make changes and modify our projects as we learn more.
ReplyDeleteDr. Drake said the the purpose of our projects is not necessarily the finished product but the learning experience and understanding the concepts behind the scenes.
great idea! I was looking at the imdb as well while looking for ideas for projects. I was also trying to find a way to add meta critic in to something like that. Do you have four people in your group?
