Getting most recent youtube video links for a user using API

So, I've been reading the Youtube API--I'm interested in showing the three most recent videos uploaded by a user. But, as I've never navigated an API or done this kind of work before, I'm a bit confused by what exactly the API here is trying to tell me. What I DO understand is that if I enter a URL like the following:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/aosjeff/uploads

Then I'll get a ton of information in a kind of list. What I don't understand is how to navigate that list in HTML, and make it return a link to the most recent video (or second most recent, etc) so that I can embed that video into the page. Can anyone explain this to me? Really appreciate the help!

Note: I'm working within site building software that will not allow me to use PHP or reference .php files.

You should look at parsing the xml data with php. This is probably the easiest way of doing things. Beginners tutorial here:
