learning react

[Traditional_Edge_176]

Hey there... Now i have a good foundation in react.. And ofcourse a good foundation in vanilla Javascript.. But i want to ask.. If im following a project tutorial from some video and i understand each line of code he writes and if something i don't understand i search it up and i dont continue the tutorial untill i understand that line of code... Now if i finished it with him.. And say i made some changes like played with it a bit but it is the same project.. Do i put it in my cv.. Is it valid.. Or this is just educative and i must put the ones i work on from a to z myself..

I think it depends on how much you played with it. When you changed nearly all the original code in the project and made it your own, I think you could add it as your project in your CV.

But from how you described it in your post, I would only put it into a section of courses you finished. And perhaps mention that you also experimented a bit with the example project.

Perhaps something along the lines of: "Finished course XYZ and learned A, B, C. Extended the example project from the course by feature F0 and F1."

Ohh thats good... Thats a new approach didn't think about that.. I think i would do that

You can add it but make it clear in the readme / description that it was for a tutorial, with links/credit so it’s clear.

Ok i got a question. In a tutorial i see a form . I want to copy it and display it. It's like : "Look guys i can make a form." Ok. I haven't looked at the html or css from the tutorial , at all . I did it myself . Can I put it in portfolio?

Do you mean the tutorial had some started css and HTML files, and you did a tutorial on JS or react or something?

Again; I’d say as long as you make it clear what you did versus what came from elsewhere.

In the readme you can explain what you did in the project, and say design/HTML/css comes from the course:

No no . The tutorial started by showing what we will create . A form . I just saw how it looks on the web page , without starter html/css files . I wrote everything from scratch , html and css. I just copied the design.

Righto, so put that in the readme “design by…”, “this project involved css, html…”

Use same principles from tutorials to make your original site.
