Basically, I am unsure of what I should create that would show good skill but show a bit of personality as well.</p> <p>With that being said, I also would like to know of any libraries or languages besides just basic static site skills as many MANY developers have these skills. My questions is how can I stand out as a self-learning frontend web developer? </p> beginners webdev discuss Jacob Reid Sun, 18 Oct 2020 05:00:11 +0000 https://dev.to/jacobreidwd/booksearch-progress-13i6 https://dev.to/jacobreidwd/booksearch-progress-13i6 <p>Right now I'm in the progress of a beginner frontend project.<br> Im building a demo website where the user presses a button located in the center of the page. This will then cause a menu of different book genres drop down from the button. The user then can choose any genre to see a list of books slide in from the left side of the screen.</p> <p>I am not very sure what I want to do with this list of books, though I am thinking on rather creating a subdirectory for each book with a list of details and images, or creating a list of details and images that slide in from the right side of the page when the user chooses the book they'd like to see.</p> <p>If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'd really appreciate that!
