Introduction

The goal of the new DevProjects product is to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application. Junior developers can improve their skills by building real-world projects that will help them practice and learn skills that are applicable in a full-time developer role.

Projects need to be applicable to real-world products. This means projects...

• Have real-world context and application - no pure algorithm or game projects
• Are limited in scope and have clear requirements - similar to how a developer would receive clear specifications on the job

<aside> 📝 Depending on the complexity, we expect each project to be around 250 to 500 words.

Project fields

All sections are required besides "References and hints"

• Title

  We're prioritizing these, but feel free to include others: Angular, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, PHP, Python, React, React Native, Ruby, Swift, Vue.js

• What you will practice

  ~2 sentences explaining the skills and concepts required in this project and how they might apply to a real-world application

• Introduction

  A few sentences setting up the scenario of the project so the person working on it can imagine this is a real project. If you have one, include the estimated hours this project will take. Project estimates should be maximum 25-30 hours. Most project estimates are within 16 hours.

• Requirements

  Clear requirements and specifications for the project - we recommend using bullet points here. Any extra challenge items you want to include that the developer can choose to implement if they're more advanced.

• Suggested implementation

  Libraries, frameworks, and tools they might need for different tech stacks.
