This is a fun and challenging project. This will really challenge your Data Structures and Algorithms that you covered in the previous course.

Blood and sweat... Managed to finish it at last, deeply satisfied.

A good course that starts to give slightly more vague directions so that you practice coming up with solutions on your own without following direct pseudo-code line by line.

I loved seeing what i've learned be transposed into a tangible (and (spoiler) LOTR-themed too!) thing. It was super difficult in parts, as the training wheels are being removed a little, but Boots is always there to assist when you get stuck (the hard part is trying not to rely on him to finish!).

quite a challenging course, needed a lot of help from boots and sometimes even had to peek at the solutions, but all in all it was very fun and rewarding at the end

A lot of steps, but quite interesting having never worked with html before.
