Weather Application with Angular Express
Weather Application with Angular Express Overview
In this episode, Daniel and Justin give a general overview of what to expect in the upcoming Weather App with AngularJS and Express series. They cover topics like who is the intended audience, what the scope of the series will cover, and what are some specific topics that will be addressed.

In this segment, we're gonna take a look
at what you can expect from our upcoming
weather app using AngularJS and Express
series that we've got coming up for you.
And Justin, if you could,
would you very much do that for us?
Tell us what is some of the general ideas
that we're gonna take a look at and
topics we're gonna cover in that series.
So in this series we're actually gonna
take a look at a more advanced view of,
well, AngularJS and Express.
In particular,
we're gonna be building a proxy service
that consumes an external API,
not one, but in facts two APIs.
That would be for weather information
as well as Google Geocode,
which is like geolocation but for
addresses and latitude and longitudes.
So we're gonna be building that service
in addition to we're gonna be building
a front end web application that
consumes that proxy service.
And by consumes, I mean, actually uses
those end points that we have built to,
well, get the data that it needs
in order to render an application.
While building this front end application,
we're gonna see a more
structured approach to AngularJS
than you may have encountered.
And that includes using web pack to
manage our bundling and deployment and
things of that nature.
All right, could you also tell us who
the intended audience is for this show?
So the audience for this show should be
people who are, you know some JavaScript,
you know HTML, you know CSS, and to
some extent you know about web services.
So you've done a few things, right?
I would not recommend this if you're
just trying to get into web development.
There's a lot of more complex topics,
a lot of assumed knowledge
as far as the processes.
Like using MPM, and Node,
and things of that nature.
So you should be,
I would say, intermediate would be
a best approximation to skill level.
All right, Justin,
also here at DevPro, and ITPro and
all the other Pros that we have,
we tend to gear
either toward a technical type skill that
you need to learn, or a certification.
Which one of those categories
do we fall under here?
This is definitely a skill.
I wanna get better at what I do.
I wanna learn a little
bit about Webpack and
how that integrates into
the front end development.
I wanna learn how to use Express and
other MPM modules to go and
grab data and kind of collectively bundle
an HTTP response that I can then consume.
I wanna know how to deploy those
in their respective rights.
So this is definitely about powering up,
and does not have a certification.
All right, well, if that sounds like
something that might be interesting
to you, we look forward to seeing
you in the upcoming S series.

Overview
In this series, Justin is going to combine the powers of the Express web framework with the power of AngularJS on the front end to create a weather forecast web application. Express will be used to proxy the request from the front end to the DarkSky API that is being consumed as a measure of hiding the credentials that are necessary for making the request. Moreover, Angular will interact with the proxy in order to obtain the information needed to render the application. If you want to see how this application comes together, then join us!
