Brian & Brock's App Adventure
summary
Builds a working NHL screen‑scraper API that parses team tables into JSON and deploys it live (nhl.chloe.io), using Node.js + npm + jsdom for DOM parsing, Mocha tests, an Express HTTP layer and a Redis cache (2 hour TTL) to avoid hammering the site. Front end is a Harp static site compiled to www and wrapped with PhoneGap/Cordova into iOS and Android apps that run on devices; PhoneGap team tests about 30 devices and the pipeline (compile → deploy → native) completes successfully.
