dotnet-weather

A fun small weather app written in .NET MVC C#

Description

A web application that provides information on the weather conditions at a US geographical location. The UI Design should have a modern look/feel consistent with contemporary design practices and frameworks.

Input:

   US zip code (only US locations can be used)

UI - should validate input and display errors if the validation fails. The underlying framework should also validate the data before it is submitted for processing. 

Processing:

Using value submitted through the UI (button click), the following web services should provide the current weather conditions for a zip code:

Step 1: retrieve latitude/longitude based on the zip code provided:

Google API (Geocoding API to obtain latitude/longitude) API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start API key:

Step 2: retrieve current weather based on latitude\longitude from the previous call:

Open Weather (Weather API) API Documentation: https://openweathermap.org/current API key:

Output:

Result of the web service calls: Success: UI view describing the current weather for this zip code. (Up to you how you display the weather conditions)

Create a db record storing results displayed in the UI. (This data could be displayed again, or used in reports)

Failure: Message in the UI (Example: “Submitted zip code was not found.”)
