In this 2nd video we will be going over:

• How to get the user's geo-location(longitude and latitude)?

In this 3rd video we will show:

• How to concatenate a string?
• How to get the weather information from a user's geo-location?

In the 4th video we will:

• Retrieve the local weather temperature in Kelvin.

In this 5th video we will:

• Be targeting html with jQuery to change the values with our API data.
• Display the city of user from the Open Weather API.
• Display the weather type of the user from the Open Weather API.

• How to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius?

In this section we will:

• Use BootStrap to center text. unstyle lists, appear to be buttons, etc.
• Add a background image via CSS and start organizing our application.

In part 8 we will:

• Display Celsius and Fahrenheit degree using their HTML entity.

In part 9 we will:

• Format the wind speed and change into MPH.
• Logic to switch between backgrounds based on what the local temperature is.
