Weather Application – High School Computer Science Project

I am thrilled to showcase the handful of skills I learned from completing this coding project during my senior year of high school. For this project, I developed a simple yet functional weather application as part of my Computer Science 30 class using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Key Features and Functionality:

  • Integrated third-party weather APIs to fetch real-time weather data, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather conditions for user-specified locations.
  • Designed a responsive and user-friendly interface using HTML and CSS, ensuring seamless interaction across different devices and screen sizes.
  • Implemented dynamic updates using JavaScript to display real-time weather information without requiring page reloads.
  • Added a search feature to allow users to retrieve weather data for any city or region, enhancing the application's usability.

Impact and Outcomes:

  • The application provided users with accurate and up-to-date weather information, helping them plan their activities more effectively.
  • Demonstrated my ability to work with APIs and integrate external data sources into a web application.
  • Received positive feedback from my instructor and peers for the clean design, functionality, and creativity of the project.
  • This project sparked my interest in web development and API integration, laying the foundation for my future technical pursuits.

Tools and Technologies:

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • API Integration: OpenWeatherMap API
  • Development Tools: Visual Studio Code, p5.js

This project was a significant milestone in my journey as a developer because it was one of the first projects I have ever created, as it allowed me to apply my programming skills to create a practical and interactive application. It reinforced my understanding of frontend development, API integration, and user-centered design, while also showcasing my ability to deliver a functional product from concept to completion.
