Introduction

Learning by hands-on code from day 1 is one of the coolest methods of getting into coding, each time you move a small step, let be fixing a bug or adding a new feature, you can feel that dopamine boost!

You might get stuck quickly by not knowing how to build something or move forward but that is the whole point of coding, when you're blocked, you need to find a way to implement and deliver features, read documentation, learn how to learn and how to google things, but each time you'll be a little better...

...and the moment you complete a whole project is AMAZING! +1 to your portfolio, learning new skills and a feeling of accomplishment are unique.

Let me present 10 more projects you can build to improve your coding skills x10!
