Platforms shape practice session

Today

Today we will make standalone web pages based on Mixcloud or MediaWiki API calls.

Picking up from last session... we will make prototypes as platform studies: how can you make a web page to emphasize specific features of Mixcloud or MediaWiki?
If practice shapes tools shapes practice..., how does Mixcloud/MediaWiki shape the practice of sound sharing?

What kind of web page you make, is up to you. You can work for example with Radio WORM's account on Mixcloud, the radio shows you did that were uploaded there, it could be the alphabet soup on the wiki, the glossary wiki pages, personal wiki pages you made with notes, the course wiki in general, Mixcloud in general, ..., ...

And standalone, is an advised constraint, because it's a useful skill to learn how to make standalone web pages!

At the end of the day, we will upload all pages to: /var/www/html/platforms-shape-practice/

Prepared prototypes

Mixcloud

This page displays the metadata of a radio show in a custom way. To load this metadata it uses the Mixcloud API. To make an API call, first open a Mixcloud page of one single radio show. Edit the URL: change www into api and add ?metadata=1 at the end. You should get a response back, formatted in JSON. Copy this URL, the API call, and paste it in line 20 of this page to explore the metadata of that show.

To make a standalone version: you can download the API response as a JSON file with: $ curl URL > filename.json and change the API call URL to this JSON file in line 20.
