A very basic Amazon recommendation engine. practising Classes

Coder Academy Week 4 Monday 21st & Tuesday 22nd August.

Amazon Challenge

Create a Ruby terminal app that let's you borrow or by books from your own Amazon-like service

Your Amazon service needs a recommendation engine which will help the user find new books to borrow or buy

Be creative with how your recommendation engine thinks!!

3 groups chosen by Jamie will present their ideas

Team included : James Marotta GitHub : J1marotta Kasumi Takeshima Github : kasumi0201 Takuya Okamoto Git: Takuyaokamoto11

Processes taken : To start with we did Trello user stories : https://trello.com/b/uZtbUrI0 and we established our mvp would have to include 4 features

1: print a list of all books available 2: A cart feature 3: A recommendation by author 4: A recommendation by genre.

We then brainstormed flow of the user experience on paper and How we wanted the program to react.

We then established our classes/ methods and attributes. As the main goal was to work with classes, we focused on that first. This was excellent practice and utilising

ObjectSpace object definition was a really essential tool we used for working with all our objects at once.

Overall this was a challenging project as we got stuck trying to compare objects and classes to variables
