Week7_Day2

Today, I decided to work on Web Services since I got part of the API working. The goal is to make sure everything works the three main ones are, API, Web services, and Kerberos. After we get in control of working out those three, we can move to logging, algorithms, etc... I've been looking at pyzillow for examples, I went on Zillow.com to search for more information about API and Webservices. I also watched a lot of youtube tutorials on how to implement those in python. I also worked on the documentation, I decided instead of changing the documentation, I created a change log which allows us to log every changes within the project.

Week 7_Day1

Days before today my group and I had a google hangout meeting with my professor. He showed us a Pyzillow API, which was very helpful; even better he installed it for us. It felt like a great leap forward because my team and I had a hard time finding a API that is recognizable. As of today, I read a book called The Phoenix Project, which said "A great team doesn't mean that they had the smartest people. What made those teams great is that everyone trusted one another." But Anyways, I did get an API printing some code out, but it's only for a specific house. I am trying to figure out how to code it so that it will print things broadly rather than just one specific thing. Also great news, which is Julia is out of the project, meaning it's a big leap for our team.

Week6_Day2

It's about to be the 7th week since my team and I started working on this project. It has been very very stressful, due to the lack of teamwork. Today, I demonstrated what I've found to my team members, showed them how to do it and where I got the information from. I also informed them about the API is not house related but we should use it as a template and try to modify it so when we find a house API we can incorporate it in. During class Joe helped every team to work on ODBC for Julia. After I was still receiving errors on Julia to use ODBC. Lastly, I just put my mind into API and continue searching.

Week6_Day1

Today, I was looking around trying to find an API for  the project. As I was browsing for housing API not much was showing up. Many was in XML format and others were in JSON. Later that day I found an tutorial how to work on a JSON API. I coded it and it was working perfectly. The Problem was that housing APIS did not have it in JSON format and also, it was not house related. So I continued my search.
