Week 6 Entry: 6/9/14

In this week’s contact session we were told to figure out the core functionalities of our website and start working on it. So our team had a brainstorming session to critically analyse our task and subdivide that task into more simple subtasks. Our finding were as follows:

Three Core functions of our websites:

1.       Making an API request to trove and getting the relevant data and cleansing that data.

2.       Making another API request to get the geo-coding data from the Google map and getting latitude and longitude information in order to plot the hotspot on the map.

3.       Making of the actual user interface using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
