MMP 420

The final date is not that far away ( a little less than four weeks) so it’s time to get your final project ideas locked down. In the interest of time I’m going to encourage you to pick one of the following API’s for your final:

Flickr

YouTube

Yahoo (Search, Answers or a combination of them).

EMAIL ME by WEDNESDAY the basic idea for your final project.

These are the only APIs I will definitely be doing screencast tutorials on. You can pick another one but it will mean that you have to do more of the work to figure out how it works (I can help but won’t be doing tutorials on it).

If there is time I may also do a quick tutorial on reading RSS feeds and displaying them. However I’m not sure that’s going to happen at this time.

Also, because time is short I’m going to reduce the requirements for the final project. In short they are:
API:
- Connect to an API
- Make three different types of method calls to the API and receive and process the results of the calls.
Interaction Design
- interactive elements (like buttons) work
- I know what to click on.
- what I expect to happen happens when I click on something
Visual Design
- More later, but it should look finished and polished (alignment, fonts, colors etc).
