The research project is based on the topic of NoSQL databases, which is also an extension of the topics discussed in my MIS2502 class. In a brief description, I included what NoSQL Database is and why it is important, as well as how it would be applied in companies like eBay. Please go to this page for more details about NoSQL Database.

The API found at https://api.chucknorris.io/ could be used for entertainment purposes. A user decides they would like to hear some funny jokes. First, they would enter the number of jokes they want in the text box. If the button is clicked and there is no number, an error message pops up. Then need to decide if they want to choose a category or random. If they decide to pick a category, they must choose an option from the drop-down menu and click the “Generate” button. If they decide to choose random, they must click the “Random” button. Then the number of jokes select show up on the right side.

One of the first things that stood out about the ETL Capstone project was how important it is to be thorough in conducting research at the beginning of a project.  Without being diligent and evaluating many options, we would not have found the tools suitable to meet the needs of our project sponsor. This project also teaches students the importance of making slide decks clear, concise and informative. The student presenting is responsible for conveying that information properly and in a way that keeps the attention of the audience. It can be hard to grab the attention of the audience, and boring them with too many words on your slides is a quick way to lose all of their focus. In addition, the key element is to ensure that the needs of the client are met to the fullest possible extent. While we all had our own ideas and experiences with different tools, what was crucial for us was whether or not our tool met the needs of the project sponsor. Achieving an organized stream of communication with our sponsor allowed us to do our research while also making sure his requirements and timelines were met.

Our task was to transform raw data on thousands notable deaths scraped from Wikipedia into a
high-quality dataset that can be used for statistical analyses.

I learned hard skills like coding in Python, and leveraging advanced features in Excel and Google Spreadsheets. I also learned how to evaluate and compare proposed projects based on requirements and technology, as well as how IT organizations are structured. Finally, I learned soft skills like how to communicate efficiently with other teammates, manage deadlines, and mediate and resolve conflicts.

Web API Recommendation

For this project I researched various API’s, therefore I learned more information about them and how they work. I learned different ways of how a RESTful API can influence a web page. With the information that I learned, I used it on improving my code by getting the API to properly work how I wanted.

1. For my capstone project my team and I worked on a project called Python vs R for data analytics. We began the project with very little knowledge in ether language but became proficient in each Python and R by the end of the semester. Our project began by defining three use cases to test each language against one another. The first use case we demonstrated was using a data set from the NFL draft to do linear regression to determine what players NFL teams should draft. Next we scraped twitter to perform sentiment analysis on tweets to be able to see how the public is reacting to current events on social media. Lastly we used the two languages to do object and land mark detection on photographs. Overall the project was incredibly interesting because we learned two new languages and three very different capabilities of each language.

1. I have created a web-page. This web-page utilizes an API that generates the weather forecast at Temple University.
2. The web-page can be viewed at http://misdemo.temple.edu/tuk36341/Horgan_PRO-Point

The API found at https://free.currconv.com/api/v7/convert?apiKey=sample-api-key&q=USD_PHP&compact=y could be used on an E-commerce website. A user can use the currency converter to calculate the currency exchange rate. For example, a user wants to purchase something from Japan which is Japanese Yen to US dollars. Using the currency API converter, it would look up the current exchange rate for JPY to USD then calculate the cost to US dollars. This currency converter API is very useful for shoppers to calculate the exact cost in their currency.

The goal of this class project was to research a cheap or free Web Application program Interface (API) and build a functional web application that demonstrates the use of the API. I found an Advice API endpoint that was free and decided to develop a simple web application that uses the $.getJSON() method to retrieve Advice formatted in JSON for the user after they enter their birthday on the web page. The user can either enter their date of birth manually or select it from the calendar by using the arrows in the date input box. In this project I refreshed my memory on the basics of html like

tags , <p> </p>tags <h1> </h1> tags, and forms. I also utilized jQuery methods like .html(), .next() , .val() and conditional if statements to populate error messages in the span tag next to my input date box.

My web application is a very fun and interactive way to get customers to voluntarily give out their birthday information. Most humans are on a quest for daily advice. Thus, they will be curious to know about the advice the web app has for them. Online retailers can then draw meaningful insights from the birthday data to know how to better market their merchandise to the different age demographics they may  have.

I am optimistic that this web application will be extremely beneficial for online clothing websites like H&M and Old Navy. My app can help them learn more about the various age demographics they have in their customer pool to know what their target market is. Furthermore, since most online websites use cookies to store small amounts of data, the website can use cookies to store each customer’s data after the customer accepts cookies for the website. This will enable online stores to save each customers date of birth and use it later  for promotional purposes as well. For instance, the data can be used to send out individual promotional discount codes as a birthday gift to their customers. This will lead to an increase in online traffic to their websites throughout the year especially in peak months like August and September that happen to have the highest births.
