How to build real world projects

+
+
+
+
    +
  1. Go to your favorite websites and build them without looking at the inspector. Use the experience you gained while learning and also GOOGLE search what you are trying to do. This will build up your googling skill which is super important.
    2. +
  2. Find a friend who wants a website and build it for free…(or charge money if you can… but mines were free)
    3. +
  3. Make sure the work your doing can be seen, this is where git comes into play, you can use it to setup everything in github. Github also has a free domain to build one website from a repo “which pretty much means your project” (add everything to github if you can, make sure you hide your secrets if you are adding stuff to your servers….)
