Experience
Tweet Sampler
https://github.com/jun1wang/TweetsSamplerA .NET Core application that showcases SOLID software principles and consists of four components.
TweetSampler.Worker, is a worker service that hosts the processor, which does all the hard work. The second component, TweetSampler.Core, is a class library that calls Tweetinvi to access Twitter STREAM APIs. It receives a sample Tweet stream and identifies the top 10 most popular hashtags. It also persists the results to share with the public. Meanwhile, TweetSampler.Model is also a class library that contains common models shared between TweetSampler.Core and TweetSampler.API. Finally, TweetSampler.API is a REST API that publishes the most popular hashtags to the public.
