Navigating Data

We've given you a big old piece of data in this workshop. Your challenge is to navigate it 🧭

Data is the real world can be gnarly at times 🍝, and can feel unmanageable 😰. But, as always, if we break it down and approach it systematically it is completely doable 💪!

Story

We've launched an alternative to social media apps which we think will blow them all out of the water... Welcome to SOCBook...

SOCBook has a lot of data, and we're going to see how we can interact with and use that data. It's available through the SOCBook variable (because in index.html we are importing data.js, which creates the SOCBook variable). Take a look at the tasks, and have a play 🛝

Files

The files you need to care about are for this workshop are:

  • index.html - this is your HTML file, and won't need editing
  • main.js - this is where all of your JavaScript will go

Tasks

The tasks are outlined in main.js - complete them as instructed. Remember to use computational thinking always! Especially:

  • Understand the problem
  • Break down into smaller problems
