My idea was to pull in the headlines from the NYTimes Newswire API in order to count and visualize the total headline length and relative word lengths of each worth in the individual headlines. I ran into the technical limitation of needing more hours than were available to wrap my head around and make sense of the code that would enable me to visualize my idea. I have experience in using Processing, but it has become apparent that I need to devote more of my free time to becoming more familiar with the language and/or look into developing with an alternate language.
The applet & code are linked below. A look at the commented code will reveal a number of setbacks that I encountered on this project and I hope to address those technical back-end issues prior to launching into the upcoming midterm assignment.
