Hi @th3n00bc0d3r !

Thanks a lot Carlos, I started learning Web development earlier this year... The problem I'm currently having is forgetting some of things I learnt while learning new skills... I'm currently learning Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I'm also employed full-time... Any advice for me?

Hi!

I think that you have the skills to create several projects which allows you improve your skills.

Maybe you need a persistence layer to store data. So, ai think that you could to do side-project and use an ORM.
