  • In the course, we're going to build a weather app called Sunshine.

  • The main screen is a list of this week's forecast,

  • with an emphasized presentation for today's weather.

  • With just a quick glance, I can decide if,

  • today is a stay inside and code day. Or if I should code from the park instead.

  • We have icons to indicate conditions, like snow,

  • rain, fog or sunshine. We can scroll through the list,

  • to see a long range forecast. With a click on one of the forecasts,

  • we bring up a detailed view containing the rest of the weathery goodness,

  • which also gives us the ability to share the weather with our friends.

  • We can go to Settings and change the unit of measure,

  • as well as the location.

  • The app can even post system wide notifications,

  • to let us know about weather conditions without even entering the app.

  • So, you might ask, why are we building a weather app?

  • We chose the weather app because it's a simple concept,

  • which touches most of the core APIs we want to teach and everyone

  • can relate to weather, unless you're in a bunker.

  • By the end of the course, you'll be able to use those APIs

  • and concepts to build your own app for your final project.

In the course, we're going to build a weather app called Sunshine.
