Good developers know that, sometimes, shortcuts are the smart choice. If you want to build a website to show your latest photos, you don't need to manually upload them every day – you can just connect to Instagram using an API! APIs let you add advanced functionality from across the Web so that you can build better websites, faster. Take for example Trackster, a playlist generator site that students build in our Build Websites from Scratch program.
Trackster, a project in Codecademy's Build Websites from Scratch program.
Trackster doesn't need to host thousands of .MP3 files to work – it uses the Last.fm API to find them online! Using APIs to power your projects, you can stand on the shoulders of giants.
With Codecademy's Build Websites from Scratch program, you'll build the Trackster site and fifteen other projects yourself over ten weeks. You'll learn the tips and tricks real developers use to make good websites great – skills that most courses won't teach you.
