First Personal Project

Pick an idea, scope it down, build it yourself, and get community feedback on the result.

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!

I think this is the course that helps you the most to learn programming because you have to do it alone.

Boot.dev authors are absolutely right here - not even their courses will teach you as much as creating something completely on your own!

At first it felt overwhelming even though I have been consistent with the course but with a great Discord community and boots helping me break down my project to smaller tasks I was able to complete my personal project.
