Do you want to follow along with the Angular API workshop? Use an alternate JSONP API, click here for list and example

I was really looking forward to this workshop, as Angular had been something I had wanted to begin to learn for some time But, I was quickly disappointed when the Dribbble API had changed.

However, I found a list of JSONP API's at http://www.programmableweb.com/category/all/apis?data_format=21174

I ended up using The Movie DataBase, which only required a simple API signup for key, and accepted it as a param. Here is a link to my finished project at Github.

Didn't worry about style or edge cases, and I only followed through the video ( I didn't match it up with the completed files that go beyond). But, I was able to utilize 6 learn the same aspects of Angular, and even more thoroughly.

I highly recommend picking a JSONP API and fitting it to the workshop. For me, the extra level of immersion and problem solving really helped solidify the concepts, plus gave some API experience.

Hope this helps encourage someone to not pass this workshop up.

Great suggestion Noel,

I agree, when you use a similar api it forces you to connect what he is doing with your own scenario.

Awesome Suggestion Noel, I love the API link and the class was easy enough to follow with the Movie API you suggested. Thank you so much!
