👋 Hey there, I'm Jonathan.

💭 About Me:

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." - Marcus Aurelius

I'm an avid gamer with a relentless drive to improve my creative prowess. It was this passion for gaming and technology that set me on a course into the world of programming.

In 2020, I took a significant step forward by enrolling in UCLA's Coding Bootcamp. By 2021, I proudly finished the cohort specialized and armed with a solid foundation in Full Stack development.

Since then, I've remained unwavering in my commitment to self-improvement, continuously enhancing my skills through:

• Udemy Courses
• Self-Study (Personal Projects, freeCodeCamp, etc)
• Seizing Freelancing Opportunities.

Currently I've created over a dozen projects, I strive for Open Source. Check out my repositories!

🎮 Gaming as a Foundation:

My gaming experiences have cultivated a distinct perspective on problem-solving; it's similar to tackling intricate puzzles in games like Portal. I'm confident that persistence yields the desired outcomes. This skill has integrated into my programming practices, for which I'm immensely grateful.

📈 I've got two ambitions:

1. Software Developer: I aspire to be a professional software developer. The goal is to work for a forward-thinking company, working towards a more interactive and dynamic digital environment.

2. Game Developer: I aspire to craft captivating video games that people can immerse themselves in and enjoy.

• Delete redundant HTML
• Segment HTML in logical formats

Add info button

To-do

Setup LocalStorage

Add Previous Searches

Currently this feature should appear underneath the search option. This enhancement needs to be developed.

• Create an unordered list within the HTML & generate the list elements when parameters are met.
• The last location searched will appear in the unordered list.
• List element contain the data of last locations weather conditions.
• Create a button that deletes a single search
• Create a button that clears the entire list

Search by Zip Code

• Will likely have to use RegEx and test it with userInput

Modify For Mobile Use & Smaller Screens

Instead of having the inline containers:

• search bar will be set above
• weather data will be set under
• 5Day tbd

Add 5 Day Forecast

Currently the visual concept exists, but the scripted aspect of the feature itself isn't implemented at all.

• Connect with the API & setup the specific data
• Plug the data into the hardcoded 5 Day Forecast for testing
• Once working delete the hardcoded HTML & setup the generated HTML in the JavaScript file
• Adjust CSS as necessary

README Modifications

Update the README to include the following

• Still screenshots
• Demo's that preview the project
• Explain the project in further detail in the description

Implement Modals & Visual Queues

Design UI

• Consider a theme to work off of
• Plan a desktop & mobile design
• Plan out where modals will be implemented

Miscellaneous Additions

• Place the current time underneath the header
• Place circular buttons underneath the current time
