I wanted to create a project that we
could use to explore some big data.
0:00
So, I was looking for
a large dataset I could use.
0:05
There are a ton of external APIs that you
can connect to to get data like movies,
0:08
and books, and recipes,
muppets, you name it.
0:12
So I thought,
0:16
what's something that has a really
large amount of recent relative data?
0:17
I know, how about job listings for
java developers?
0:22
So I used an API from the site indeed.com.
0:25
Indeed is what is known as job aggregator
they gather jobs from all sorts of sites.
0:29
Its wonderful of you're on the hunt.
0:33
They also offer access to their search.
0:35
So, I wrote some code that grabs the first
thousand recent java job postings and
0:38
I cached them, or saved them for later.
0:42
Now, the code is up on GitHub, and
also available in the downloads.
0:44
I'm going to install it using GitHub.
0:48
If this is new to you,
check the teacher's notes.
0:49
>> Okay so here in IntelliJ, I'm going to
choose Check out from Version Control, and
0:52
I'm gonna choose GitHub.
0:56
I'm gonna go ahead and paste the URL
from the teacher's notes in there, and
0:58
I'm gonna choose clone.
1:02
And I'm open it up, and
I'm gonna let Gradle do it's thing.
1:05
I'm gonna go ahead and
click the import Gradle Project.
1:08
And then I'm gonna click
Create Directories for empty content where
1:12
it's automatically just in case I
always like to have that one checked.
1:15
And I click OK.
1:18
These are okay to click OK through.
1:20
Doing it's thing right now, it's going and
it's downloading some sources for us.
1:22
If you get one of these,
don't worry about it.
1:28
Okay, and
now I'm gonna open up the projects.
1:32
So I'm gonna go do this
project view right here.
1:36
And let's open it up and
let's take a look in here.
1:38
Main java com.teamtreehouse jobs,
and then I'm gonna go to app.
1:42
And you're gonna see it, but
doesn't know what string is.
1:47
That's because the SDK isn't defined yet
here, I'm going to set up SDK,
1:49
I want to chose that one.
1:52
Okay, so this has those cached
jobs that we were looking at, so
1:56
there should be about a 1,000.
1:59
I'm just going to print something here,
make sure that we're working.
2:01
Hi mom and I'm gonna go ahead,
I'm gonna click the play button over here,
2:05
we're gonna say Run App.main.
2:08
Cool.
2:13
So we have a 1,000 jobs to play with,
it's saying hi mom.
2:14
I was thinking that we could kinda
just slice and dice this data and
2:17
keep the methods that we write throughout
the course as a little cheat sheet to
2:20
refer back to later.
2:23
That sound good?
2:24
Okay, all right, so
now we're ready to roll.
2:26
So, let's open up the stream on
these jobs, right after this break.
