Everything we have learned so far has been leading to this section. We are about to put everything we know about building websites into practice. We are going to be taking every single one of the concepts we have covered, and we are going to make use of them here, while also introducing a few new concepts along the way, a few tips here and there and plenty of challenges to really test your skills. If there were any sections in this book that you didn’t feel particularly comfortable with, now is a good time to go back and brush up on them, as the training wheels are off with this chapter and you will be left largely to your own devices to put into practice the challenges I set you.
Here’s how it’s going to work.
First, I will set a challenge and explain exactly what I want you to create, followed by the expected outcome of the challenge. After this, I will be supplying the actual method of how to achieve the desired outcome, followed by the expected code that you should have written. Try not to peek at this until you have given the challenge a good go yourself.
At the end of this section you will have a fully functional reference website, which will contain all of the core topics covered in this book, and provide you with an easy-to-use method of recalling any part of the book and what we have learned, going forward. Think of this website as a way for you to quickly recall an area of website building for your own knowledge when building websites in the future.
