Hey everyone! I'm looking for advice on how to transition from just doing coding assignments for my CS classes to actually building my own projects. I've just finished my freshman year in college, and I feel really lost compared to my peers who are creating amazing projects. I have no idea where to start or how to approach coding for projects rather than schoolwork. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I'm feeling quite stressed about not having any projects to show for myself.

Start with small and simple projects. Think along the lines of a Dice Roller, Tic-Tac-Toe, or Hangman. These are all great beginner projects that can help you gradually boost your coding skills and confidence. Also, check the project ideas in the FAQs; they're super helpful!
How do I learn about different frameworks? It seems overwhelming with so many options. Should I just follow some YouTube tutorials for the ideas you mentioned?
