You've done a great job so far in this course.
0:03
Before you just plow ahead to the next section, it's time for a solo project.
0:08
This is meant to be a chance for you to flex your new React skills that you've been learning about so far in this section, but this time without the training wheels.
0:17
These projects serve a really important purpose.
0:20
They're meant to be a tool for you to gauge whether you are actually ready to keep moving forward in the curriculum or not.
0:27
Unlike the challenges that I usually give you, I won't be walking you through a solution to this one.
0:33
Instead, I'm going to be asking you to sort of go out on your own to build this project.
0:38
That said, you're not actually completely on your own.
0:41
We've got a thriving community here on Scrimba that's very willing to give feedback on your code.
0:47
First, I want you to keep in mind that no one here is giving you a grade for these projects like they would if you were in school.
0:54
One of my personal objectives is to shift people's understanding of how learning occurs.
1:00
In school, we're trained to complete the project for the grade.
1:03
But here, you're completing the project to test yourself and to practice.
1:08
So skipping one of these solo projects will really only deprive you of the best chance you have to test out your skills and to really help you decide if you grasp the concepts that we've been learning so far.
1:21
With that guilt trip behind us, let's actually take a look at what we're building.
1:25
For this project, you're going to be building a digital business card.
1:28
Everything here is static, and you can see there's actually two different designs that you can choose from.
1:33
In fact, if you click the screenshot, it will send you to the Figma design file, you'll see that there's actually more designs including a light mode version of these designs.
1:43
And what you can do is just choose the one you like the best and build that one.
1:46
When you get to that design file, make sure to click the little arrow at the top and choose to duplicate to your drafts.
1:53
I want you to be building this project from scratch, which is why I'm not giving you any starter code at all.
1:58
Next and probably pretty obvious, I want you to fill in your own information for the digital business card here.
2:05
And while you're building it, I want you to make separate components for the info section, which is what I'm calling this whole top half up here, the about section which is really just this header and a paragraph, the interest section which is another header and a paragraph, and a footer section which has these social icons.
2:23
I wish you the best of luck and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's projects.
