It’s working! Now to actually make it into something.

I was having problems understanding the jQuery and Ajax parts too, going through the intro to jQuery course now and it’s really helpful, thanks for sharing!

I know the feels on this, I too saw examples of people using a hardcoded array and I didn’t like the idea of having my code full of quotes, thinking about the amount of time I spent on it it would probably have been the quicker option.

Just so you know my random quote machine didn’t use an API but instead a call of JSON data from a gist, I’m just tackling the api stuff now with the local weather app

good luck #youcandothis!!

I finally got the API figured out, although I’m not sure I understand everything going on in my code… thanks for the encouragement! Good luck with your weather app!
