🎉 Time to put it all together!
In this video, we move beyond individual concepts and build a complete mini-project: a Stock Picker application. Step by step, you’ll see how to transform raw ideas into a structured, working frontend app.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
1️⃣ Connecting to a Stock API (with mock data for testing)
2️⃣ Designing a clean Stock Data Model
3️⃣ Building a Stock Fetcher with user input + button
4️⃣ Rendering a Stock Table with rows and remove actions
5️⃣ Adding persistence so stocks are saved between sessions
💡 After each step, we’ll pause for a quick refactor, reinforcing maintainability and readability—so you’re not just building code, but building good code.
By the end, you’ll have a working app and a repeatable process for taking an idea from start → structure → polish.
