Videodrome
==========

###Summary
Choosing what to watch is an age-old problem. When looking for new movies, three common considerations are: ratings on major websites, genre, and friends' opinions. Videodrome simplifies the search process, bringing these pieces together. Having imported the IMDB dataset, sanitized and aggregated with other site ratings, Videodrome gives users access to the most comprehensive collection of movies available, adding in user interaction to provide relevant recommendations results.

###Key techniques used
* Aggregated data sources using two importing tools to create extensive database:
    1. <a href="http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/">IMDbPY</a>
    2. <a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/">OMDb API</a>
* Reorganized data for better querying and results:
    1. Designed an ETL process
    2. Used spot queries to remove unwanted content
* Recommendations loadtime optimization using:
    * Indexing
    * Caching
    * Reduced subqueries with joins
