Checkpoint

Now that you have learnt HTML and CSS, you should be able to build static webpages. I recommend you to build as many test projects at each yellow step of the roadmap as possible to solidify what you learn.

The practice that I used to follow when I was learning was this:

• While you are watching a course or reading a book, make sure to code along with the instructor/author — pause the video at regular intervals and code what you are being taught.
• Search on YouTube and watch a few project based tutorials on the topic that you are learning. Apart from coding along with the instructor:
  • Try to build the same project at least 2 to 3 times on your own without looking at the video. If you get stuck, refer to the section of the video where the instructor builds that part of the project.
  • Build something else that is similar to the project that you just built. For example, if you just built a todo app, try to build a notes app or a reminder app.

Project Ideas

Now that you have learnt HTML and CSS, here are a few ideas for you to build:

• Try to copy the design of a website that you like.
  • Here is a simple blog design in figma that you can try to copy.
  • Or try to rebuild the webpages of this website.
• Take some inspiration from personal portfolios of others and build your own personal portfolio
