Unit 1- Weather App - Coggle Diagram

- - - - There can always be legal issues with a project that involves code. While using others code is not illegal, not correctly referencing documentation, API’s and sites can be counted as plagiarism and violate copyright laws. Issues connected to copyright and patents. I cannot do just whatever I like. I need to be careful about ownership of images and IP
  - - - I have a due date for this and i have other things vying for my attention and time. I will need to be organised. Time is always a constraint in any project. Time means you cannot spend forever perfecting a program but the constraint also means that you may have to sacrifice unnecessary parts of the solution.
    - - When being given a problem in the modern world, that usually comes with costs. When building a program that may have been specifically asked for, you are paid on the requests of the person who needs the application.
  - - - A Weather App must call on different sources of information that can display the weather. For this, weather API’s can be used and for this particular solution, we will be using OpenWeather and IP Stack to provide the App with the forecast down to a single location.
      - JSON is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays.
    - - Using a Weather App does come with a privacy risk. When showing the user information, the API must be able to access a coordinate from the users device for it to work. This does mean it will be accessing the location of the user but they will be prompted beforehand if they would like their location to be used or not.
    - - Skills will always have a constraint in a task. It takes time to master something and if you are a novice coder, it will always take longer and have more errors than someone who is experienced. This constraint is less serious over time.

        Mike would use the application to track when and where he may be able to grab the best catches over the week. He could also look at the weather to see if it would be safe to take his trawler out. Being able to track currents would also be of use to his occupation
