After learning.

Hi all,

Like Guil said we need practice after all the learning. I'm actually learning a lot but I'm having a little hard time doing things on my own after. Is there any challenges, or any practice tests any code challenge where I can start ?

Thanks in advance.

Marta,

At this point, I'd suggest you start building a website on your own. You've got enough badges and points to be able to create something completely original.

Do what I did, ask around your family and friends. See if anyone needs a simple website for anything they might be involved with.

When you get stuck, google for help, use the MDN for help, or post here for help!

Good luck!

Hi there.

In Guil's latest CSS courses he uses an example called Lake Tahoe as a project to build. I would feel free to use this as an example for portfolio building, or use it as inspiration to come up with project of your own to build. Something to use the methods that Guil teaches. You get some practice and something to put on your portfolio. :-)

Good luck!
