Introduction

Eventures is a C++ application that allows users to search for upcoming events in New Zealand cities. The application uses the Eventfinda API to retrieve events and event data. The application also uses the ArcGIS to display the location of events on a map GUI interface. The combinations of these two datasets aims to help New Zealanders find events and help great events been found and attended.

The application follows version contrtol and continous integration practices, in parrelllel with statis analysis (Codeacy) and code coverage tools (CodeCov). Developers wanting to develop the Eventures application further are welcomed, however all pull requests will be looked over before merge to master. Steps for installing QT then compiling, building and running program can be found inside GitHub repositiories README.
