Discussion: Links to Final Projects
If you’ve deployed your application publicly and want to share, post the link here.
You might also want to provide login information and some “steps” for your use cases.
Finally, it may be smart to provide an e-mail address if a user finds some bugs!
Here is my website: [link]http://beta.hurl.me[/link]
What can you do there?
1. Shorten Urls
2. Upload Photos (gets a short url)
3. Update Twitter Status (Twitter info must be set in profile)
4. Create Profile (Click your email up top)
5. Login (valid email address)
6. If you are feeling really adventurous, you can use a service I created. Here is a step by step, just need to tack on beta to the http://hurl.me url portion of the javascript. [link]http://jeffancel.com/archive/2009/04/09/71.aspx[/link]
This is a work in progress. I appreciate any bug reports or TODO things sent to me at jancel@gmail.com. If you find a reason to use this site in your implementation, please email me and I will see if I can provide a JSON/XML service for you.
Is moderation on? I still don't see my comment.
I guess, I'll be the first then...
My FP is a community based city-tour planner. You can look at city tours developed by other users or create your own and share with everyone. The idea is somewhat similar to Google citytours, but instead of using algorithms to to get the tour content, it's user-(community-)based.
You can have a look at it at:
http://tourslikemine.com/
In order to actually create a tour you have to sign up. You can also do this with an OpenId url if you have one at hand.
Would be great if some of you add some tours!
And of course if you find any bugs would be great if you could let me know. My email is: ghase@fas.harvard.edu
I deployed my application here:
http://courses.heroku.com
after making minor changes to backport it to Ruby 1.8.6 (the only version heroku supports) and PostgreSQL (instead of SQLite).
It is intended to contain the complete Harvard Extension School catalog, but right now it only has some sample data: a small number of courses from the ARAB, CSCI, and SPAN departments. The idea is that a user can read comments left by other users about classes they have taken, and logged-in users can add new comments.
There isn't currently any user authentication (I just borrowed the user and session code from Assignments 4 and 5). Please play with it, try to break it, and ask me any questions about it. My e-mail address is: rnewman@thecia.net .
The app includes a read-only RESTful service, but I'm not sure how to release my client to the public.
The next thing I'm going to try to do is to write a screen-scraping script that reads the official Harvard Extension School website's course list and adds all of that data to my database.
Here is my website: http://www.knowledgesketch.com/
You can publish and share your scientific or theoretical illustrations, flowcharts, maps, cartoons, cheat sheets, posters, and other graphics conducive to learners at any level.
I wrote a Mechanize/Nokogiri script to scrape the official Harvard Extension School website and import all of the course, instructor, and section data into my Final Project application. If you now go to
http://courses.heroku.com
you will see my application functioning on "real data", not just the sample data I had last week.

John - Are we still planning a get get together for people to display their work?
