Primary LanguageJavaScript

NASA's Picture Of The Day Generator

This is an application in which I utilize the NASA's Picture of the Day API, which grabs the picture of the day from the date entered by the user.

NASA POD

How It's Made:

Tech used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, $AJAX, and an API

With the ajax request to the NASA API, it grabs the picture from the date inputed by the user. CSS provides the background image for the body as well as providing the style for the font,input, and buttons.

Optimizations

When I initially pushed the project onto github it worked, however it was plain, and not anything special to look at. I added some CSS, and now its an experience that the user can enjoy! ** Added a black border to the image, because I didn't like the way it looked before.

Lessons Learned:

This was my first experience utilizing API's, and I learned alot of value information and how to pull off an AJAX request.
