SI 507 Fall 2017 - Section Week 3

Flickr API

• sample_diction.json contains the Flickr API response
• We will create a class Photo, that takes a nested dictionary, and saves interesting properties and values of the API response as object variables

Coding Activity — Learning by doing (~30 mins):

Reference: https://www.programsinformationpeople.org/runestone/static/publicpy3/Classes/ClassesHoldingData.html

• Discuss in pairs (5 mins): What is interesting in the response?
• Create a file flickr_response.py
• Create a class Photo
  • Through its constructor, save the values of interesting properties from the Flickr API response into its object variables.
  • This step is called initializing the object with values.
• Write __str__ method for this class
  • What would be an interesting string?
• Write __repr__ method
  • What technical details are interesting when you debug the code?
• Write __contains__ method
  • What are a few things that are interesting to check for using the in operator?
  • Think about the condition if "______" in photo: do something
• Commit and push to your forked repository

Project 2 — Manage your project through Github (~20 mins)

• Fork: https://github.com/SI507-F17/507-Project2-F17
• Look at the code file and discuss in pairs what you understood (5 mins)
• Create Milestones and set deadlines for yourself for each milestone
• Create Issues (they are like broad ToDos) and tag it against each Milestones
  • Create a checklist in the description of each Issue, just like how you would divide a big task into smaller, manageable tasks.
• Submit the link of your forked repository on your section's discussion thread in Canvas
• Work on creating new Issues and checklists in issue descriptions for Project 2 at home. This will help you keep track of your progress and ensure that you don't miss out anything in your submission.
