CS249 Web Mashups

This app uses data from the list of 50 Thigs to Do at Wellesley before you graduate and mashes them with geo-coding information, to show the location of where the things happen. If a user logins with her Facebook account, it keeps track of things done, so that the user can keep coming back. The user also can share the number of things done with their friends on Facebook. Because all data are stored in the Google App Engine datastore, the app can create aggregate statistics to show most popular events. Technologies used: Facebook API, Google App Engine (with Python), Google Maps API, jQuery.

This app allows a user to draw her path in the campus map and calculates the number of burnt calories. If the user logins with her Facebook account, the app keeps track of the burnt calories every day and can generate a weekly chart. The app allows costumization by the user based on the speed of walking and age/weight/gender characteristics. A user can share the daily stats with her Facebook friends, to encourage other users to try this app. Technologies used: Facebook API, Google App Engine (with Python), Google Maps API, Google Charts API, jQuery.

This app is a game to test your knowledge of Wellesley Campus and to teach you about places you don't know. The user has 1 minute to guess as many places as possible. One photo of a Wellesplay place will be shown and the user has three guesses to put the runner icon in the correct location in the map. The app keeps track of the rounds played by all users and can create aggregate scores for individual users and for the best played games. The data for the game were collected during a field trip, using Android phones and an app developed during the course. Technologies used: Google App Engine (with Python), Google Maps API, jQuery, Facebook API
