REST

For our  midterm assignment we had to create a site using the REST model.  I chose to create site that allows people to post their complaints of an event that bugged them.   This event could be someone cutting the person off in the car, or someone littering, etc….

By typing add in the url bar, you can log an event.

You can filter results by state and city.  Here is an example:

The main URI is http://test.russelldelatorre.com/net/offense/  after “offense”,

Type “/ak” shows all events for the state of alaska.  add “/sitka” and will show all events for Sitka, Alaska.

Add any point in the URI you can type “/add” to add an event.

http://test.russelldelatorre.com/net/offense/

Complimentary Colors:

Transparency:

By changing the Brightness and Saturation values of a color creates the illusion of transparency.
