Where To Go From Here?

Feel free to download a copy of the completed project up to this point.

In this part of the tutorial, you set up your project with Cocoapods, added views to the controller, laid out those views and built models to reflect the weather data you will be fetching. The app still isn’t fully functional, but you’ve survived creating views directly in code, and learned how to map and transform JSON data using Mantle.

Next check out part 2 of this tutorial, where you’ll flesh out your app to fetch data from the weather API and wire up your UI. You’ll be using the new iOS 7 NSURLSession to download data along with ReactiveCocoa to tie together the location finding, weather fetching, and UI updating events.
