How important is it to practice algorithms for web development?

So im just curious but i have started to build out projects for my portfolio since i have finished the full stack java script course on here. But im curious though is it also important that once i get projects completed that i start focusing on algorithms and learning them in order to pass technical interviews for jobs?

A good way is to make a game. Try making a console text based game.

Try building a website with compass sass. Yes everything can break. LOLs.

Hi alex,

I'm not really answering your question there but a very nice way to practice algorithms and find out if it's your thing is solving problems at https://projecteuler.net/ It's free and addictive, then messes up your brain (it really is a drug).
