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!

The course gives you nothing, really, other than a reason to create your own project.

It was fun and I think I learned a decent amount about scope and JSON reading on my own. However, spending a few weeks on this out of my own volition felt a little lame since of course I was paying for boot.dev without actually using content from it for a while.

I really enjoyed the process and learned a lot having to go on my own, many things seen in lessons that I wasn't sure how to actually use made sense. That said, the most important thing I learned is that when you think you're almost done, you're most probably not done at all.

Bit of a ride developing a whole new project from scratch. A fun one, but it'll take putting in the real work. Buckle in.

I liked this concept because it gave me an excuse to do something I maybe wasn't going to put as much effort into. I got a working application that took months of researching and learning to accomplish.
