What will you learn?
You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo. The purpose of this project is two-fold: a chance to put your skills into practice and to add another project to your portfolio. Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

This is a great course. Its simple in what it asks you to do. But HARD in execution. The training wheels are off! But push through it, when you troubleshoot new things on your own, the confidence/knowledge boost you get is amazing. A necessary, and awesome step.

Loved it. But mainly cause i had my vision. It was really something else to finally feel like real (maybe not entirely) developer. While only learning about basics I was so bored and really thought that programing is not for me but here I am absolutely enjoying my first own project. It really brings so much joy to create <3
