What Programming Projects Are Best For Project Based Learning?

One of the most popular projects to build for beginner programmers is the humble Todo App - and for good reason. It’s a project with a low barrier to entry, you can add a lot of personalised functionality, and it’s one of the simplest demonstrations of the CRUD (Create, Read, Update & Delete) methodology that lies at the foundation of the majority of web applications on the internet.

If you can grasp the systems and program the logic for a simple Todo App, then programming even some of the most apparently complex applications ends up just being more of the same core CRUD logic.

So if you’re in the market for a project tutorial that you can afterwards adapt and make you own, and learn how to deploy it to the internet too, then look no further. You can watch the video here (this video is 5th in the CODE//54 series) →

Dev Tip of the Week

Most of us are familiar with the console.log() in JavaScript. But, did you know that you can style your console outputs using CSS? Well you can, and it’s cool!

With the help of a styles variable and some CSS in a string, we can pass in our styles as the secondary argument to the console.log method.

const styles = 'color: blue; font-size: 4rem;'

console.log(‘Hello world’, styles);
