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!

Amazing step for leveling up though don't get too caught up in making something very big like I did!

Wow! This was a challenge! It was fun to pick something that I wanted to build, do my research and then start building. I ended up having a couple of false starts, as I realized I had maybe gone down a dead-end path, but it was really satisfying to reach my goal at the end.

This course mostly consists of coming up with and creating a project on your own. It provides some good resources for ideas of where to get started.
