The MySpace Shot
Ok so i decided that this week i needed to take a break from the mountains of homework that had been piling up on my desk.

Data Everywhere
OK so this weeks lecture was on Data visulisation, which i actually had some idea of what is was prior to the lecture.

This weeks lecture was on API’s and Mashups, agian i never know what these things are until the end of the lecture. But what i can gather from the lecture is; an API is a Application Program Interface. It allows a user to source data from somewhere. For example the URL in a www.*****.com
This data in turn can be used to create something new.

HTML and how to do it
