Situation

This was a university project to work with a small multi-disciplinary team to build a software product using an Agile approach (Scrum).

The product consists of two components (each built by a subteam of 4 students):

• RESTful API
• A simplified interface for obtaining data from Twitter, YouTube, Spotify and Reddit.
• Built using Node.js and JavaScript
• Front-end client
• A web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Collects a user's search-term, and sends this to the API
• Receives the returned data from the API, and adds this to the page
• Built using Node.js, Express.js, Pug.js, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap
