Picset
Learn mastery of your digital SLR through a series of image recognition exercises permalink
Picset is an Ember.js application that behaves as a set of flashcards to train users to recognize what effect camera settings like aperture and shutter speed have on photographs. Images are presented with a pair of slider form elements that let users input their perceived settings for that photograph, and upon form submission they are show the true values of the settings pulled from the photos metadata. Picset utilizes a Ruby on Rails API for its persistence layer, connected to the Ember.js application by ActiveRecord Serializers transmitting to Ember's adapter in JSON API format. User authentication is handled by a custom implementation of Ember Simple Auth on the Ember application, which requests a JSON Web Token (JWT) from the Rails API for additional request authentications.
