12. Personal Project 1
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!

23. Capstone Project
This capstone project should be your resume's pièce de résistance. You're allowed to use any languages or frameworks you want, but you must build it yourself, and it should be remarkable, memorable even. The purpose of this project is two-fold: a chance to put your skills into practice but also to give your resume something that stands out and gets you noticed.

I've done a handful of different courses over the last year and this was by far the most engaging and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn how to code (and enjoy yourself) whilst doing it.

Amazing. I love the way that they make you apply the knowledge as soon as you learn it so that you can experiment and practice. I had some few coding lessons on college, but I never understood anything as well as I started this course, mainly because our college didn't challenge us the way that our exercises here do. Also boots is very helpful, any time we are stuck, or just don't understand a concept, that lovely bear will take a look at my code and explain this so clearly.
