Understand the Code Before You Copy It

Most people learn web development by copying snippets and hoping they work. When something breaks, they have no idea why. This curriculum teaches you what the code is actually doing — so when things break, you can fix them, and when you want something new, you can build it.

Build One Real Thing

Every unit of this course contributes to a single portfolio site you own, control, and deploy yourself. By the end, you haven't completed exercises — you've shipped a live website. The portfolio is the curriculum.
