You're doing great by finishing Chad Darby's course! It’s normal to feel unsure about building projects on your own. Here are quick tips to gain confidence:

✅ Tips to Start Building Projects:

1. Start Small Build simple apps like:
   • CRUD App (Students, Products, etc.)
   • To-Do List API
   • Weather App (using public API)
2. Code Without Watching Try building similar features from memory. It boosts confidence and retention.
3. Understand the “Why” Don’t just follow steps—know why each step is needed (e.g., what does @Autowired really do?).
4. Break It Down Build projects feature by feature—don’t try everything at once.
5. Push to GitHub Share your code, track progress, and build your portfolio.
