So, I was looking into using RWeather by Carlos Kozuszko which is a Ruby Gem for accessing the Weather Channel, inc. XML API. I need to display the weather for various regions in Italy for a project I’m working on. The only problem with RWeather is that it doesn’t currently implement the whole API functionality, most importantly of which is forecasts.
No big deal, I’ll just implement that in RWeather and submit a patch, I thought. But when I dived into the code to do that, I couldn’t find an obvious spot for adding forecasts in RWeather’s OO hierarchy. RWeather was obviously designed for getting current weather conditions first and foremost. I also didn’t really like the way locations were handled.
So, I decided to create my own Ruby Gem(my 1st one!). Introducing WeatherMan!
"NewsStand" is the code name for my current project. It is being developed for Broadway Partners, Inc. to act as a local portal for various types of information. NewsStand is a large system that implements support for Local and World syndicated news, business directories, hotel listings, blogs and classified ads. We hope to launch the first "NewsStand" portal by the end of November.
