Open Data: Temple
As a developer employed by Temple but outside of Computer Services resources are nil. Try searching for information pertaining to Shibboleth or CAS integration and you’ll find plenty of resources from Harvard, University of Oregon, etc. but nothing from Temple. Nearly everything that pertains to infrastructure seems to exist in a black box, as members of the Temple community students are essentially left to themselves when it comes to developing software to enrich our collective experience at the University.
Enough, I say! I’m of the opinion that information needs to be available to everyone, so let’s make it happen.
I have a post detailing a course information API, coming soon will be a guide to the TUMobile (TUPortal) API.
The goal is to build a (Node/PHP) wrapper for the API’s to allow easy integration with Temple services ushering in a new era for student-backed applications.
