At the end of each course, you’ll complete a project to test your new skills and ensure you understand the criteria before moving on to the next class. There are nine projects in which you’ll use a lab environment or a web application to perform tasks such as:

Edit your Bio page—using your skills in HTML5, CSS, and UI frameworks
Manage a project in GitHub—using version control in Git, Git repositories, and the Linux Terminal
Build a static version of an application—you’ll apply your understanding of React, frameworks, routing, hooks, bundlers, and data fetching.

At the end of the program, there will be a Capstone project where you will bring your new skillset together to create the front-end web application.

Really cool course; the final assignment really pushes you over to develop your website. The instructor gives a lot of content in a short span of time, it is good to go over it from time to time.
