About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a basic weather app that lets users enter a city name and see the current weather conditions by fetching real data from a free weather website.

Why it's a good starter: This project has a small, clear scope and uses simple tools. You'll get to see immediate results, which makes learning fun and motivating.

What you'll learn: You'll practice working with APIs, handling user input, displaying information, and organizing your code in a friendly way. Everything is broken down step by step!

Milestones

1. Setup & Planning

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan (1 page) outlining your app's features, tool choice, and API to use. Show your development environment is ready (screenshot). What done looks like: Clear project goal and tools selected, basic code editor setup.

2. Core Build: Fetching Data

30 marks 10d

Submit working code that asks the user for a city name, fetches weather data from the API, and prints the results in simple text. What done looks like: Code runs without errors, gets real weather for any city entered.

3. Core Build: User Interface & Features

30 marks 10d

Submit updated code with a basic user interface (console or web), and display weather details (temperature, description). What done looks like: Neat display of weather, clear prompts, handles invalid input gracefully.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Submit your tested app and a brief log of any bugs fixed. What done looks like: App works for several cities, handles errors, looks tidy, code is commented.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Submit a 2-page report and a screen recording demo. What done looks like: Shows app in action, explains features, reflects on what you learned.
