Snapple Facts: A Project by Michelle McCarthy

Project Baseline

• Anticipate spending 10-15 hours on this project over the break week.

• Do at least an hour of thinking and research about a small, web-based project you would like to build. Focus on something you believe you can ship by the end of the week.

• Spend time thinking about the scope of the project. What does done look like? What is the minimum viable project that you could ship that accomplishes the goal of your project?

• Create a repository on your personal Github account to house your project. https://github.com/MisShellyMac/snapple_facts

• Author and push a README (in plain text or markdown) that describes your project:

  • What is the goal of the project? The goal of the project is to use an api(hopefully) to see if I can retrieve all snapple facts and present the results in a single page application.

  • Who is the target audience (can be just yourself)? Probably just myself, or snapple fact fiends, or people who do trivia and need random questions.

  • What are your personal learning goals? Originally it was to use an api to retrieve all the snapple facts but it doesn't look like one exists. However, I did find some sort of makeshift one that was on Github as an open source project which uses python script to kind of do what I wanted so I'm trying to see if I can use that and use the results to make my own CSV file.

  • What technologies/frameworks/patterns will you be employing? I will be using ruby on rails framework to build page. I would like to use some of the javascript we recently learned on the main page to see if I can make what's on the page a bit more animated or do something.

  • What are the tech and/or skill dependencies of your project? I am working with trying to retrieve objects from a database, javascript, and just making sure my main page requires CSV.

  • What does success look like for this project? What does done mean? Given the time constraints, I will be happy with being able to do random, and range and all snapple facts and having some kind of animation happen.

  • Deploy to Heroku: https://snapplefacts.herokuapp.com/

• Creat a Trello board in which you decompose the tasks and deliverables of the project. https://trello.com/b/hoGuOKsv/snapple-facts
