Показать описание

Deciding which type of project you should add to your portfolio can be one of the hardest decisions to make. With so many options available; what should you do?

In this video I lay out the 3 types of projects you'll want to build where I explain the importance of certain types of projects and I also provide examples that you can start working on today.

This video earned my subscription! Great job breaking it down and giving direction and concrete examples on where to start, what a roadmap from "easy" to "highly complex" projects looks like, and benchmarks to check your progress! Keep up the good work!

As a professional dev, I miss these days sometimes... Learning software development via building anything I wanted was such a blast after school.

Great categorization.
I think we can add another level after capstone level, which is 'Solving Real Problems'
Which means that if someone worked on a clone project, he/she can work on some customization for this project to deliver it as a real solution for some potential customers, even for free to get some good experience in CV.
For instance, an e-commerce clone project can be customized for a local grocery in the neighborhood.

Thanks so much for breaking this down! It's taken me months just to get a straight answer to this question - much appreciated!!

Informative video, my personal opinion is that once you go past the simple projects it is better to develop fewer projects while going very in--depth than trying to create many different ones. By in-depth I don't mean a large scope and a billion features, but take your time to think about the architecture and perhaps educate yourself with design patterns and see if you can fit at least one in. Most importantly, DO take your time to go over best practices to do certain things, even if it's something you can already code blindly - go and check how it can be done in different way, look over common approaches and see which ones you want to adopt.

Understanding design and best practices is super important especially if you are going to try and land a job in the future - and when you do talk about your experiences dont mention your To Do List, it doesn't have to be a capstone project as long as we have taken the time to learn design/best practices in an intermediate project so you can elaborate further.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I liked the idea to mesure the complexity of a project by its functionalitys. Thats an objective criteria everybody would agree with.

This was genuinely helpful. Defining the tiers like you did really makes sense. Now I know to look for projects that don't require libraries, focus on the syntax. Then once I'm comfortable with that, move on to using libraries to do bigger things. Of course, I want to learn Rust. And my understanding at this point is that almost anything beyond printing a line requires a library of some sort.

Thanks Andy. You're very inspirational to me.

In my case, I've only built one single capstone project which take me a lot of time and effort, but it's all worth it. Now I'm working as a full time developer.

Thanks Andy for the great video, I'm a Hardware engineer with a lot of PCB design experience, and decided to switch my career to software. I'm in week 2 the exploration phase. Keep up the good work!
