#What The Truck! ##Purpose To create a simple single page application that displays intuitive, real-time information from local food truck venues.

##Features

  1. Live, relevant venue information
  2. Minimal and easy-to-read UI
  3. Fair and relative rating system derived from Foursquare's 1-10 system

##Technologies

  1. Bootstrap
  2. Functional JavaScript
  3. jQuery
  4. JSON/AJAX
  5. Foursquare API

##Constraints

  1. Range & Quality of API data
  2. Client-side latency

##Procedure for project

  1. Digest Foursquare API
  2. Define keys from API
  3. Optimize UI to continually compliment live API data
  4. Test data against request
  5. Create responsive bootstrap layout.
  6. Refactor JS
  7. Beautify; make 100% responsive
  8. Refactor with Angluar

##Stretch Goals/Future Iterations

  1. Refactor with NodeJS and remove client-side scripting to optimize performance
  2. Make platform API agnostic so I can:
  3. Cross-reference data between APIs and return the most relevant data from a given source; i.e., Yelp, Google Places, etc
  4. Geolocation. Not really a stretch
  5. Optimize for touch-screen devices
  6. g[11] rating system
