Overview-
This project involves developing a standalone ASP.NET module that will be Ajaxed into the main page. This News Feed module will be an aggregate of a variety of news feeds from sources like Yahoo News, New York Times, Google News, ESPN, etc... Some of these feeds will be obtained through their APIs and others through RSS feeds. I have attached a mockup and requirements list so that you can decide if you might have interest in this.
This project involves both the backend coding and integration of the News APIs as well as formatting and displaying the news feeds on the front end user interface. The mockup provides a visual overview of the features and functions that need to be developed and how they should be displayed on the UI. Also attached is a list of all of the requirements necessary to complete this project. This project involves finishing all of the requirements marked Phase 1.
Technical Details -
Microsoft technologies (asp.net or classic asp) will need to be used to access the APIs as well as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end display. Ajax/Jquery can be used to fetch data as long as it is not making excessive requests which would affect scalability. Event handlers must be in the form of Jquery requests and NOT native .Net event handlers. No PHP. For example: An ASPX page with a code behind CS file that would load the data from the API as well as accept query parameters and return pieces of information.
