Yahoo! Weather App

Here is a new app launched by the company Yahoo recently.
Yahoo! Weather
Earlier a service on its website, Yahoo! Weather is now available as a standalone app for the iPhone for free. It has been made aesthetically appealing by using location-specific images from Flickr.

 More specifically, Yahoo! created a group on the photo-sharing service called “Project Weather”, where users are encouraged to submit pictures of the city or town they’re in, from around the world.
When a person using Yahoo! Weather opens the app on a sunny day in, say, Maui, a photograph of Maui submitted to “Project Weather” on Flickr will accompany the climactic details of the day shown on your phone.
Also, if you’re using your phone on the landscape mode, photos are displayed without any accompanying information except the name of the photographer, so you can flip through his or her pictures like postcards. This makes Yahoo! Weather a great place for your pictures to be featured, too.

Using id instead of class names Many beginners are tending to write CSS using id names instead of CSS class names. We should always aim to reuse the code as much as possible. By using id names we are applying styles only to that particular div rather than sharing the styles which are common to div s having the same class name. Do read this article which gives a practical approach to maintainable CSS . Not using CSS shorthand Using CSS shorthand will come as a second nature by practice. Until then we need to force ourselves to write CSS in the right way. While working on a large project, we will notice that by using shorthand properties the number of code lines in CSS file will be reduced reasonably. CSS Measurements 0px is just a 0.
