Chapter 6. Building the Carousel Application

We have come a long way in our journey to master JavaScript and JSON; it is time to get busy and build an end-to-end project that is powered by JSON. In our journey, we have come across a variety of concepts such as JavaScript, JSON, the use of server-side programming, AJAX, and JSONP. In this photo gallery application, let us put all of these to use. We will be building a rotating notification board application, which should display the top students for the month. This application should provide the Carousel functionality, such as navigational buttons, auto play of content, displaying a single item at a given point, and keeping track of the first and last piece of content.
