    I wanted to create a project that we could use to explore some big data.

  • 0:05

    So, I was looking for a large dataset I could use.

  • 0:08

    There are a ton of external APIs that you can connect to to get data like movies,

  • 0:12

    and books, and recipes, muppets, you name it.

  • 0:16

    So I thought,

  • 0:17

    what's something that has a really large amount of recent relative data?

  • 0:22

    I know, how about job listings for java developers?

  • 0:25

    So I used an API from the site indeed.com.

  • 0:29

    Indeed is what is known as job aggregator they gather jobs from all sorts of sites.

  • 0:33

    Its wonderful of you're on the hunt.

  • 0:35

    They also offer access to their search.

  • 0:38

    So, I wrote some code that grabs the first thousand recent java job postings and

  • 0:42

    I cached them, or saved them for later.

  • 0:44

    Now, the code is up on GitHub, and also available in the downloads.

  • 0:48

    I'm going to install it using GitHub.

  • 0:49

    If this is new to you, check the teacher's notes.

  • 0:52

    >> Okay so here in IntelliJ, I'm going to choose Check out from Version Control, and

  • 0:56

    I'm gonna choose GitHub.

  • 0:58

    I'm gonna go ahead and paste the URL from the teacher's notes in there, and

  • 1:02

    I'm gonna choose clone.

  • 1:05

    And I'm open it up, and I'm gonna let Gradle do it's thing.

  • 1:08

    I'm gonna go ahead and click the import Gradle Project.

  • 1:12

    And then I'm gonna click Create Directories for empty content where

  • 1:15

    it's automatically just in case I always like to have that one checked.

  • 1:18

    And I click OK.

  • 1:20

    These are okay to click OK through.

  • 1:22

    Doing it's thing right now, it's going and it's downloading some sources for us.

  • 1:28

    If you get one of these, don't worry about it.

  • 1:32

    Okay, and now I'm gonna open up the projects.

  • 1:36

    So I'm gonna go do this project view right here.

  • 1:38

    And let's open it up and let's take a look in here.

  • 1:42

    Main java com.teamtreehouse jobs, and then I'm gonna go to app.

  • 1:47

    And you're gonna see it, but doesn't know what string is.

  • 1:49

    That's because the SDK isn't defined yet here, I'm going to set up SDK,

  • 1:52

    I want to chose that one.

  • 1:56

    Okay, so this has those cached jobs that we were looking at, so

  • 1:59

    there should be about a 1,000.

  • 2:01

    I'm just going to print something here, make sure that we're working.

  • 2:05

    Hi mom and I'm gonna go ahead, I'm gonna click the play button over here,

  • 2:08

    we're gonna say Run App.main.

  • 2:13

    Cool.

  • 2:14

    So we have a 1,000 jobs to play with, it's saying hi mom.

  • 2:17

    I was thinking that we could kinda just slice and dice this data and

  • 2:20

    keep the methods that we write throughout the course as a little cheat sheet to

  • 2:23

    refer back to later.

  • 2:24

    That sound good?

  • 2:26

    Okay, all right, so now we're ready to roll.

  • 2:28

    So, let's open up the stream on these jobs, right after this break.
