Modern JavaScript from the Beginning - Second Edition - Random User Mini-Project

This video tutorial introduces the basics of using the Fetch API to make requests and build a small project. The project involves creating a random user generator that fetches data from a public API. The tutorial covers understanding API data structures, implementing JavaScript to fetch and display data dynamically, and adding a spinner for better user experience. The video concludes with finalizing the project and preparing for more advanced topics in the next video.
