It is a web application, which functions as a companion application for a modular weather station called the WeatherTop 1000.
The web app has simple start, register and login pages/views when the app is first opened. When members log in they are presented with a dashboard where they can view the latest weather readings for all the stations associated with their account. Members can also add and delete stations. Members may open any particular station to get a view of all the weather readings for the station. Members can also add and delete readings. There is a simple about page presenting some information about the app and the team. Finally members may make use of the account page to edit their details.
The play framework (v.1.5.3) is used to build the web application.
The Fomantic-UI framework is also used in the project.
Elephant SQL is used for a database and the project is deployed with Heroku.
The code on the back end is in the Java programming language. HTML and CSS are used on front end. The Fomantic-UI framework and play framework templating language are also used throughout in the project.
