This is a book milling application or website.
#BookMining
This individual project is to develop a mashup-based application or app by integrating Web APIs.
#Introduction
I got the inspiration when I was looking up originals to improve my English. Nowadays a growing number of English-learners tend to read original books not only for handling examination, also for interests. Pitifully there has no specified website or application providing such sources or simply recommendation. So I aim to develop a simple app called “BookMining”. It’s also possible that I might change another name later on. :p
#Specifications
Get recommendations from New York Times Best-sellers and USA Today Best-Selling Books ( or others ) Link with Douban Book Reviews, which is in Chinese, so that readers can quickly decide which book they prefer Detailed information, such as ISBN, author name, labels, etc Keyword searching Price information, which I decide only display the price of ebook
