POS 409 Week 2 Team – Designing and Planning the Learning Team Project
Software developers are often hired as contractors to work in teams to accomplish software development tasks. Over the coming weeks, you will build a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application as a team of contractors. Each week your team will build a portion of the program.
As a team, examine the following programs and the linked sources data, and select one to complete by the end of the course:
- Create a program that will allow the user to enter a zip code and show the weather for the zip code entered. (Possible source of data: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs)
- Create a program to search the World Wide Web. Keep track of the last 10 searches the user entered. (Possible source of data: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/using_rest)
- Create a program to take in two locations and show the driving directions between those two points. (Possible source of data: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/start)
Note: Each of the programs can be accomplished by creating a UWP application calling an Application Programming Interface (API) using a Representational State Transfer (REST) web service.
For your team assignment this week, create a 1- to 2-page document using Microsoft® Word including each of the following:
- Identify and investigate the service you will use and the data the service will return.
- Investigate whatever setup you need to do in order to use the selected API, including registering for a developer key.
- Use a tool like Postman to test the API and make sure it will work for you (use the link to download Postman).
- Complete the initial class design for your selected program including properties and collections.
- Complete the initial user interface design for your program.
- Create a project plan for the work you will do with clear expectations for each team member.
Note: The Learning Team Assignment Tips document will help you as you work through all the steps to build your Universal Windows Platform application.
