The Movie Database (TMDB) API and your JavaScript Learning Journey
every developer needs a free, publicly available, and possibly fun, API to practice. I whole heartedly recommend the Movie Database (TMDB) API.
Once you have learnt the basics of JavaScript programming, and you have learnt how to arrange the DOM elements using Bootstrap grids and stuff, the next step is to start building some applications.
At the end of the day, every app boils down to.
- get data from some where based on some input
- show that data.
- go back to step 1.
Now, of course, you could always build your own back-end API. Still, nothing wrong in taking some help, eh?
I personally, like the TMDB API. I love movies, and as of now, this is the only API that provides a nice and easy to use system.
Of course, it is free.
The documentation looks great.
As always, I already have some demo projects, that you can check out.

Well, there is nothing else to type here. Go on.
Go build some apps and (insert whatever it is that you wish to accomplish in your life).
