Week 14: Mad Dash to the End

Last time we developed a short program in Python to generate random, single-variable polynomials within a given range of coefficients.  Our next step was to incorporate that code into an HTML webform that could interact with the user.

We found an API called Jinja that we tried to learn, but with our limited time constraints, it was too intensive to work with.

Additionally, we found another platform called web2py that seemed more straightforward.  I was able to make a little more progress on that, but it was still too complicated for our time constraints. We were getting down to bare bones here!

Finally, my mentor found an AJAX tutorial that was just what we needed. It used a combination of Javascript and XML to create interactive buttons and text boxes.  

Next week we'll use this tutorial to incorporate our Python script.
