Dear Subscribers,
I am happy to see your continued interest in our coding challenges! I hope you find building projects even more rewarding than just being interested in them.
If this is your first time here, welcome! At Mentorini, we share coding challenges, tips, and tricks to help you enhance your coding skills.
This week, we have a unique challenge for you: there are no guides, no levels—just a straightforward task that every developer should complete. Today, we challenge you to build a Portfolio.
Challenge Overview: Build Your Own Portfolio
Challenge Duration: 1 week
Submission Requirements: Post a demo of your project on LinkedIn, include your GitHub link, mention Mentorini, and use the hashtag #MentoriniSummerCup.
Having a portfolio is highly recommended for developers to showcase their skills and projects. Most HR managers and IT talent acquisition professionals lack technical knowledge, so sharing your GitHub link alone might not highlight your capabilities effectively. A well-crafted portfolio is an excellent way to demonstrate your skills and enhance your online presence.
Even if you are a beginner with just HTML and CSS knowledge, you can create something impressive. Don't be ashamed of your skills—something simple is better than nothing. Feel free to follow YouTube tutorials, but avoid copying and pasting code.
Not a good designer? No problem! Check Behance for templates. A simple search will yield numerous options you can build upon.
Here are some tips to get you started:
First Impressions Matter: Spend time creating a beautiful landing page.
About Me: Include a brief introduction about yourself.
Project Showcase: Build a section to display your previous projects.
Contact Form: Add a form where people can reach out to you.
You can add any sections you like, but these are essential. Limit your design to two or three colors for a clean look. If you build something impressive, consider buying a domain with your name and deploying your site, or use Netlify or Vercel (here's a short video to explain how).
