MALAYSIA WEATHER FORECAST

Intro

• I was bored one day, and decided to casually googled up "fun coding idea to do over the weekend".
• The main idea was just to get a weather forecast, but after I found a Weather API by Malaysian government, I saw the need to use city name to get a more useful data.
• Thus, I added another idea on top to get city name from postcode number.

Outtro

• My main objective is cleared: I did this over some holiday that I got.
• I thought of using some other tools/techs, but I prioritize on finishing the project (using whatever things that I have) rather than testing new stuff.
• I didn't touch Bootstrap (HTML) and JavaScript for a while, but I google and read the documents for a while and I was ready to put my ideas on solving this project into code.
• I admit that my memory wasn't great. I did not remember most of the functionality of a programming language.
• But what I can showcase here is my good understading on how to utilize documents to get to my expected result. This also shows my good adaptability towards any programming language - I've left my website (HTML, CSS, JS) untouched for around 2 years, but I still able to pick it up and write new things within short period of time.
