But this is a bit old-fashioned, isn’t it? Today there are a lot of modern weather apps. They allow you to decide quickly and easily whether to take an umbrella with you in the morning or not.

Today, I’ll show you how to create a weather app with Webix components. You will be able to gather details about the weather in your city in one place. With just a quick glance, you can spot the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and UV index. A closer look will reveal the meteorological conditions, daily temperature range, and air pressure.

This app provides an excellent opportunity to show you a couple of our PRO widgets. Webix Pro offers a variety of HTML5 web widgets that are not included in Webix Standard. They all have their own distinct features and enhanced functionality.

All of these things can be done while sitting on a balcony overlooking the sea. Do you think it is only a dream? No! It is the daily routine of many IT professionals and not only.

Based on such specifics of work, the company’s managers may have additional worries. It is about tracking the location of staff and synchronizing their work schedules. And in this article, I’m going to show you how to solve such difficulties using the Webix components and third-party solutions.
