DIY-Recommender

This is a capstone project. A recommender system with the same basic features as those used by companies such as Netflix and Amazon. This work with data for movies, including ratings, but the principles involved can easily be adapted to books, restaurants, and more.

Given input files on users ratings and movie titles, the program will be able to:

1. Read in and parse data into lists and maps;
2. Calculate average ratings;
3. Calculate how similar a given rater is to another user based on ratings; and
4. Recommended movies to a given user based on ratings.
5. Display recommended movies for a given user on a webpage.
