## Technical details of the solution

1. Loop through the assets list websites - `https://dzone.com/services/widget/assets-listV2/DEFAULT?hidefeat=true&page=XX&sort=downloads&type=refcard`, where `XX` is `1` to `XX` (until this empty response is returned: `{"success":true,"result":{"data":{"assets":[],"sort":"downloads"}},"status":200}`). At the time of writing, there are `24` pages. See this example of the valid JSON response:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "data": {
      "assets": [
        <---------- OMITTED ---------->
        {
          "id": 520107,
          "title": "GWT Style, Configuration and JSNI Reference",
          "details": "Introduces Ajax, a group interrelated techniques used in client-side web development for creating asynchronous web applications.",
          "subtitle": "Using the Google Web Toolkit",
          "collaborators": "Jill Tomich",
          "downloads": 29488,
          "views": 115116,
          "cover": "//dz2cdn3.dzone.com/storage/rc-covers/2806-dzone_refcard_.png",
          "host": null,
          "url": "/refcardz/gwt-style-configuration-and-js",
          "tags": [
            "frameworks",
            "javascript",
            "server-side",
            "java",
            "web dev",
            "ajax &amp; scripting"
          ],
          "color": "purple",
          "type": "refcard",
          "pdf": "/asset/download/6",
          "authors": [
            {
              "id": 327457,
              "name": "Robert Hansen",
              "avatar": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ae431e508cbc54620c27a0d612d4f93c?d=identicon&r=PG",
              "url": "/users/327457/rhansen1392.html"
            }
          ],
          "saveStatus": {
            "saved": false,
            "canSave": true,
            "count": 63
          }
        }
        <---------- OMITTED ---------->
      ],
      "sort": "downloads"
    }
  },
  "status": 200
}
```

2. On each of these asset list websites, extract the following information from the returned JSON file:

- Title:      `'.result.data.assets[].title'`.
    - PDF suffix: `'.result.data.assets[].pdf'`.

3. Download the PDF by prefixing the PDF link with `https://dzone.com`, creating e.g. `https://dzone.com/asset/download/279342` and save it as `<Title>.pdf`, e.g. `GWT_Style,_Configuration_and_JSNI_Reference.pdf`
