AM1 - Student Achievements

Overview

For AM1 (Achievement Milestone 1), students first learned working with Web APIs by creating an app that searches the Google Books API. Then, they took that knowledge and transferred it to create an app that searches data from another Web API.

In this process, they learned not only to use Javacript to send an HTTP request and process its JSON results, but also to dynamically create HTML elements and style them to create a consistent presentation.

Here is one live instance of the app. After your search, click on one category to filter results.

Here is one live instance of the app. Trailers and information don't always match, but the idea and execution are cool (and the YouTube API is tricky to work with).

Here is Priscilla's version of the app, and this is Lee's version Etsy doesn't give access to images of products in its results.

Here is Meridian's album search app. And here is Clara's song search.
