After taking a week off to chill and hang out with my friends again post exams and coursework deadlines I came back to the BBC task today. And I think I’ve done it! Woohoo!
It doesn’t look like much but this is the table I managed to create using HTML, JavaScript and JSON. And I pretty pleased with it! I can’t share the code due to other people attempting the challenge too but I ended up taking a lot simpler an approach than I first expected. My biggest issue was understanding JSON after only working with XML before.
I then had a little play with D3 to see if I could figure out how to create a visual representation of the data. I think I need to do some more but not bad for a first attempt methinks:
So, now I’ve done the majority of this task I think I better get back to general interview prep – oh and the next semester of uni coursework…
