Lesson 31: Building the Project
Let’s Build!
Now that you’ve planned your capstone, start coding it section by section.
Suggested Workflow:
- Start with clean HTML and link your CSS/JS files
- Build your layout structure using semantic HTML
- Style with CSS or use Tailwind if you know how
- Add JavaScript: select elements, handle events, fetch data
- Test after every major update
Use console.log() to debug, and commit your changes regularly with Git.
Tips by Project:
- Weather App: Start with a working API call using fetch.
- Journal App: Focus on DOM interaction and saving data.
- Dashboard: Build each widget separately, then combine.
This is your masterpiece. Keep it simple but functional.
