This is gonna be a short one. Week 6 was all about working with server side apis. There were some mini lectures, but we spent more time on in-class coding exercises. We were introduced to examples of some purely data API’s like OMDb, OpenWeatherMap and how to discover them using services like RapidAPI. To make requests we’re still using jQuery since it has the .ajax() method. There was a bit of an explanation about Asynchronous vs Synchronous code, but we didn’t go to deep into topics like the old XMLHttpRequest.

The Work Day Planner was due this week. The project that’s due for the end of the upcoming week is a Weather app that uses the OpenWeatherMap API.

The next two weeks of the Bootcamp are going to be interesting. We’re starting the first group project. I’m excited and super curios on how working in a group is gonna work out.
