Homework Week 5

Introduction

This week, you learned a TONNE of new syntax in JavaScript to make your life easier, and you were introduced to the concept of Object Orientated Programming. You also learned about APIs and making HTTP requests from your browser. This week, we’ll be putting all that into practice!

This week, we have some fun videos which should help to explain how the Array prototype methods work, and then we have some more FCC exercises as usual.

In the bonus homework this week, your challenge will be to create an e-commerce store, using data that we’re pulling from a server:
