If this is the first time you're taking this course,
0:01
you could basically disregard the next two screens here.
0:04
But if you've already taken this course and gone through this chapter,
0:07
you should know that we've completely redone it.
0:10
We've re-created it from scratch.
0:12
Why? Well, we use this awesome place "wunderground.com"
0:16
and we would go there and we'd get the weather from "wunderground.com".
0:19
However, it's been a couple of years,
0:21
and Wunderground has dramatically changed their website.
0:25
So the presentation that we were giving was not really something you could re-create.
0:29
So, what have we done? Well,
0:31
I've built a new weather service,
0:34
and I'm hosting it over at Talk Python.
0:36
So, "weather.talkpython.fm"
0:39
we're going to use this weather API to get real live weather data for
0:44
our application, Okay? So if you've seen this course before and you've already gone
0:48
through it and you're wondering "hey, why did all these videos change?"
0:50
this is why. It's just to refresh and keeping things modern.
0:54
If you want to get back to the old code,
0:56
go to the GitHub repository for the course handouts,
0:59
the course demos, and just switch branches to "Old Weather APP chapter" and you'll see that
1:03
code. Otherwise, you're also going to see the latest code on the GitHub
1:07
repository. With that out of the way,
1:09
let's go build our awesome weather app against our brand new shiny weather API.
