Build an idea generator from scratch, part 3: Create dynamic HTML from data [Video]

Hello again folks! This week, for our Idea Generator Tutorial, we'll be focusing on HTML markup. Which tags should you choose? How do you plan your class naming and IDs while thinking of your functionality? And of course - we'll be connecting that data we pulled from the API last time to our markup as well.

If you're new to this series, catch up by checking out my post on the first tutorial in this series.

This video covers:

How to create a solid HTML markup structure for your JavaScript app

How to move that markup into templates you can use in your JavaScript

How to connect the data from an API call to your page

Some fun new explanations on professional Git development workflows

Thinking through functionality and writing it down

... and, as usual, a number of other fun tidbits that will help you work more effectively.

The final product

In this series, we’ll be working toward this idea generator as our final product.
