  Normal Mode

Complete as many of the five apps as possible, copying code from previous assignments only when absolutely necessary.

Each exercise should have its own html and js file, named after the exercise. For example, exercise a should have an a.html and a a.js.

• a) Create a form that saves a blog post to Parse. The post should have a title and a body. It does not need to display blog posts, just save them.
• b) Create a form for a person. It should have a first name, last name, address, and phone number. It should save the person to a Person class on Parse.
• c) Create a "blog reading app", where you have a list of blog posts on the side and when you click on a post title, it opens that post in another view. Hint: which blog post is selected is "application state".
• d) Create a bookmarking app where you can save URLs. It should have a form where you enter the URL, a title, and a "tag". There should be a list of all the URLs, as well as a list of all the tags (this should be generated dynamically from the link collection). When you click on a tag, the link list should show only those tags. Hint: which tag is selected is "application state".
• e) Create a complete blog CMS from scratch, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete blog posts.
