Section 1.1 About BRIDGES

BRIDGES is an API/Toolkit for providing easy-to-use interfaces to real-world data and internet-based information systems, that are exciting and engaging, such as social network data (Reddit), entertainment (movies, songs), encyclopaedia type systems (Wikipedia, Gutenberg books), scientific/engineering (USGIS Earthquakes) or geographic (city, county, countries, OpenStreet Map, Elevation), entertainment repositories (IMDB, GeniusAPI) data. The BRIDGES toolkit provides a set of classes in C++, Java and Python, to support early CS courses, such CS1/CS2 and Data Structures/Algorithm Analysis. See the BRIDGES home page for examples and a short video on an introduction to BRIDGES.
