So here is my project. I have gone back and started tweaking the media query to make it look larger on smaller devices. I spent a long time trying to figure out why the api wouldn’t work. After googling, I realized that it was codepen.
I have been running along pretty smoothly and I understand everything I am seeing. The algorithm section didn’t stump me but I felt like I hit my first difficulty increase. The JSON / API info feels like I crashed into a brick wall and got off track. I can watch tutorials all day and understand them, but when its all said and done, I don’t feel like I am accomplishing things on my own. Its a little frustrating but a friend who has been working in Front End development for a while has told me to keep moving along and experience actually using what I have learned will help.
I have the following books to read through and a new desk to work on at home (I was sitting on the floor):
Learn JavaScript Visually
Eloquent JavaSript
JavaScript: The Good Parts
HTML & CSS / JavaScript & JQuery - Joe Duckett
So a little more reading and then onto the Weather project! If anyone can let me know what they think, I would appreciate it.
First draft with codepen and quote array.
Second draft with JSON/API.
