My first gem! This post is all about wettr – a command line weather app written in Ruby and published to rubygems.org. You can find the source code for this gem at https://github.com/JWDonovan/wettr. It uses OpenWeatherMap’s Current Weather API, as well as, ipapi.co’s IP Address API to give you current weather at your location or a location of your choosing. Give it a try. But, if you want to read a little more about how this gem was made, then stick around.
As you may have seen from my first post, my name is James. I’m a long-time hobbyist programmer, a current software engineering student at Flatiron School, and life-long nerd. And this post is all about ME!

My name is James and I plan to introduce myself properly in my next post. Before I do that, I want to set some expectations of what I, as a writer, want for this blog and what you, as a reader, might see if you decide to stick around.
