PHP has been on fire throughout the WeatherBug API contest it seems. And who can blame the developers, it is rather flexible which in turn provides a world of functionality for everyone involved.
Today’s WeatherBug API entry is going to grab the attention of most of the baseball fans here in the States in a very big way. Major League Baseball actual game time weather data - live updates, as they happen, streamed to your computer screen. Jim England, the developer, has informed us that he has the legalities out of the way with regard to using the MLB logos, so no worries there.
To make this already cool concept relevant to those of you podcasting sports talk radio or blogging about your favorite teams, Jim has also provided real time widgets which are web site friendly. There is also a Widgetbox widget available, for those who might be interested in an alternative widget to use.
For those interested in seeing how it was done, the source code can be reviewed here.
