Have you heard of XKCD Comics? It is a collection of statements on life and love to mathematical, programming, and scientific in-jokes. Aaaaaaand they have an API for them! In the XKCD API Challenge we will build a bit more complex UI, with more options for the user than before.
We will cover different scenarios of requests - e.g. request a comic by ID, a random one, next, previous, first and last one existing, - all of that with the help of API calls!
The more you have little parts in the application, the more things you need to consider while building the interface and the logic behind it. This is a bit of a step-up comparing to the previous challenges, but nothing we cannot manage together.
Feel free to try out first yourself or jump on the YouTube video from the start, find what works best fo you and enjoy! 🐣
