How to get the most from any course
- One course to the end beats five half-finished ones. Pick one and commit.
- Practise every lesson: type the code yourself rather than just watching.
- Finish with a project: a small portfolio project proves the skill better than a certificate.
- Tie it to a certification: if you want one, choose a course built for its syllabus; see Certifications.
