Hey guys,

1
00:01.080 --> 00:06.080
Welcome to Day 33 of 100 Days of Code. It's Angela here

2
00:06.720 --> 00:11.490
and today we're going to be learning about application programming interfaces,

3
00:11.820 --> 00:16.110
also known as APIs. What are we going to use it for? Well,

4
00:16.110 --> 00:21.110
we're going to learn this technology so that we're able to create an ISS

5
00:21.390 --> 00:22.223
tracker.

6
00:22.440 --> 00:26.880
So this is the international space station and it floats high above in the sky

7
00:26.970 --> 00:29.610
and it circles earth many, many times a day.

8
00:30.210 --> 00:35.040
Here's a video that's taken from the ISS and you can see how glorious earth

9
00:35.070 --> 00:38.550
looks in the eyes of the ISS.

10
00:39.000 --> 00:43.860
And what we're going to try to do is we're going to try and track where the ISS

11
00:44.100 --> 00:47.700
is currently at in the sky. And at the time point

12
00:47.970 --> 00:52.860
when the ISS is in the night sky, right above where we are,

13
00:53.220 --> 00:55.350
then we're going to send ourselves an email

14
00:55.440 --> 00:59.760
telling us to look up and spot the fast-moving ISS.

15
01:00.600 --> 01:04.590
Once you are ready, head over to the next lesson and we'll get started learning

16
01:04.590 --> 01:05.430
about APIs.
