-: Congratulations on finishing this course,
and I hope that you had a great time learning
all these new skills
and a lot of fun building the beautiful omni foot project.
And maybe even more importantly,
I hope that you are super confident now
to write HTML and CSS code on your own,
and also that you're ready to still continue
your learning journey.
But for now you should just be really,
really proud of yourself for completing this big course.
And for also taking your first steps
into the big world of web development.
Now, before I leave you
I want to pass on two very important messages here.
The first message is that taking a course like this
is really only the beginning.
So simply watching a course will
of course not make you a developer, right?
Instead, you have to now put in the hard work
and really practice the skills that you just learned.
Only then you can call yourself truly
an HTML and CSS developer.
Now, how do you actually do that?
Well, I think that the easiest way to practice HTML
and CSS is by recreating other websites
and other layouts that you like.
So just start with some simple examples
and then from there you can move on to
more and more complex interfaces, such as for example
this Twitter application.
And I believe that
with some practice you could actually be able to
build an interface like this.
So that's maybe a nice challenge, alright.
But anyway, the second message is that
in web development, you can never stop learning.
So web development is in fact a huge field
and HTML and CSS are really just the beginning.
Now, you should and can of course
not learn everything there is
but I can give you actually some nice recommendations.
So I believe that your next step
should be to learn the third core technology
of the web, which is JavaScript.
And after that, maybe you can learn some library
or framework like React
for the front end or Node JS for the backend.
You can also go even deeper into more advanced TSS
and other related technologies like Sass.
And if your goal is really to build websites
you can also look into the old school WordPress
or you can look
into something more modern called the Gem Stack.
Where the main tools that you're gonna use are
static website generators such as
11ty, Jekyll or Next js
which is actually related to React as well.
Now if all this sounds like a lot, then don't worry.
Again, you don't need to learn everything
and you can also just learn this stuff slowly over time.
This is just to give you a
high level overview roadmap here. Okay?
Now, I do have courses on some of these topics
as you can find in the next text lecture.
And, I also run a free newsletter
where I share some news, tutorials
and also some other interesting articles once per month.
So if you wanna check that out
you can just subscribe over at jonas.io.
So to make a long story short
you should keep practicing as much as you can.
You should keep on top of web development news
and you should of course never stop learning.
But anyway to finish now
it was really nice having you here
and I'm just really happy and really grateful
to have taken this journey with you.
So good luck with your new skills.
Take care and I see you next time.
