#Weather Application This is a simple weather application

##Prerequisites

• node

##Setup

1. npm install
2. npm install -g grunt-cli, if you do not have grunt accessible globally (may require admin access)
3. grunt
4. node app.js
5. Navigate to http://localhost:4000/ in your web browser

##Structure

• RequireJS aggregates all js files located in lib/ into weatherapp.js and is placed into public/js/
• Express creates a node server for the application to be used locally
• start.js initializes the views once the document is ready
• server.js acts as the source of information and faux database, which makes the XHR calls
• The Backbone model cityData.js obtains the information from server.js and provides it to the Backbone views
• The two views provide dynamic responses to the main index.html by altering their respective templates (Underscore.js)
• Core styling is done with Bootstrap
