**Testing and Debugging:**
* Use **Postman** to test the API endpoints and ensure they return the expected data.
* Debug any issues by checking the console logs and error messages.
#### Tools Used
* **VS Code**: For writing and editing code.
* **Postman**: For testing API requests.
* **GitHub**: For version control and collaboration (if working in a team).
#### Expected Outcome
The final application will allow users to enter a city name and fetch the current weather information for that city. It will display the city name, temperature, and weather description.
**Visual Example:**
#### Tips and Best Practices
* **API Key Security**: Never expose your API keys in the frontend code. Use environment variables or server-side code to manage them securely.
* **Error Handling**: Always include error handling to manage unexpected API responses or network issues.
* **Keep it Simple**: Start with a basic implementation and gradually add more features.
