I decided to use JavaScript because I wanted to build a simple but beautiful front-end web app. I'm mostly familiar with Node.js but I knew that for this challenge I did not need to writer server-side code, I could easily implement with just Angular.js. I don't have significant experience with front-end development so it was definitely challenging but I'm proud of the result.
I scaffolded my app using an angular app generator from Yeoman. I only modified two files:
app/scripts/controllers/main.js
and
app/views/main.html
I called the API endpoint using the main controller and I render the data using main.html.
Coming soon...
