1. Choose the API you will use for the project and,

2. Write a brief description of the web application you are going to make with that API. If I foresee any problems with the API you choose, or if the description of your web application doesn't meet the requirements of the project, I can let you know here, before your project is due. I encourage you to give feedback to your peers and share ideas. Most APIs require you sign up for their service and use an API key; this process is usually simple enough if you follow the API service's tutorial, but there have been problems with getting an API key in the past.
