Weekly Challenge

Week Nine

The challenge this week was to create an app from scratch. We were assigned teams, and worked on it all week.

Our project was designed to create a forest of trees that grows when a tweet is mentioned.

We'd originally started the project in Rails, but then made the decision to rewrite it in Javascript.

Technologies used:

  • Javascript
  • Jquery
  • CSS
  • Bootstrap
  • Twitter API
  • Jasmine for testing
