Project Ideas and Career Development

Hi everyone,

I'm new to DEV.to this is only by second post on here and I'm a beginner developer.

I'm planning to break into dev. Industry sometime in the 2021.

I've been coding for some time now but feel frustrated as I've not really built any substantial projects or software other than a few small console applications.

In the last year I've got a few certs in HTML5, CSS3 and I've just got my first Java cert OCA. But no personal projects to showcase my skills.

Any ideas on some small, simple apps I can create and also what is the best way to showcase these projects to potential employers. I hear GitHub is the best way to do this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Bobby

Hello Bobby, nice to meet you.

I have used java to built my small project in my college. it called Java Bank (already in my github)

It provide simulation about bank transaction such as Teller, ATM, e-banking.

You could make Bank app with some features that i didn't.

Yeh, no probs and thanks again ;)

I've been using IntelliJ. I'll defo have a look through and see what I can learn from your code or what I can do to add to it.
