App 1: Web App
Due: Thursday, February 16th, 11:59PM
Objective

Learn the how to create a mobile application on the Web. Have fun!
Description
[Current MSState Weather]

In this assignment, you will create a mobile application that presents the weather in the MSState area. You have several options of information to display.
Requirements

At the minimum, each app must do the following: Display the current temperature and weather conditions in the Starkville/MSState area and indicate if there is any severe weather alerts (and the nature of the alerts either by enumeration or linking to another page describing the alerts that does not have to be generated by the app). The app should be appropriately scaled for smartphone devices (roughly 320x480 if targeting iOS) and tablets (roughly 1024x768 if targeting iOS).

Some useful sites that can be used to do AJAX web-scraping of data:

    The MSState Weather site
    Hazardous Weather (Mobile Site) from the National Weather Service

Feel free to post other sites for students on the discussion board.
Additional Options

Choose one of the following options to also implement.

    Display current weather radar. This can be using an extant image, or, for a challenge, generating a custom image using something like d3, polymaps, and weather data (I don't have a good link here). Brownies if you get rid of that damn awful rainbow colormap.
    Provide forecasting data for the next few days (3 minimum).
    Instead of using just Starkville, utilize some tracking ability to determine the phone's current location and display weather information from there (screen shots of different locations will be needed for demonstration).

Turning it in

The app will be demoed on Thursday, February 16th. All files will then be turned in via myCourses.
