Congratulations on finishing this course.

And I hope that you had a great time

learning all these new skills

and a lot of fun building the beautiful Omnifood project.

And maybe even more importantly,

I hope that you're super confident now

to write HTML and CSS code on your own,

and also that you're ready to still continue

your learning journey.

But for now you should just be

really, really proud of yourself

for completing this big course.

And for also taking your first steps

into the big world of web development.

Now, before I leave you,

I want to pass on two very important messages here.

The first message is that taking a course like this

is really only the beginning.

So simply watching a course

will of course not make you a developer, right?

Instead you have to now put in the hard work

and really practice the skills that you just learned.

Only then you can call yourself

truly an HTML NCSS developer.

Now, how do you actually do that?

Well, I think that the easiest way to practice HTML and CSS

is by recreating other websites

and other layouts that you like.

So just start with some simple examples,

and then from there you can move on

to more and more complex interfaces

such as for example, this Twitter application.

And I believe that with some practice

you could actually be able to build an interface like this.

So that's maybe a nice challenge, all right.

But anyway, the second message is that in web development,

you can never stop learning.

So web development is in fact, a huge field.

And HTML and CSS are really just the beginning.

Now you should and can of course

not learn everything there is,

but I can give you actually some nice recommendations.

So I believe that your next step

should be to learn the third core technology of the web,

which is JavaScript.

And after that, maybe you can learn some library

or framework like React for the front end

or Node JS for the backend.

You can also go even deeper into more advanced CSS

and other related technologies like Sass.

And if your goal is really to build websites,

you can also look into the old school WordPress

or you can look into something more modern

called the Jamstack,

where the main tools that you're gonna use

are aesthetic website generators,

such as 11ty, Jekyll or Next.js,

which is actually related to React as well.

Now, if all this sounds like a lot, then don't worry.

Again, you don't need to learn everything

and you can also just learn this stuff slowly over time.

This is just to give you a high level overview roadmap here.

Now I do have courses on some of these topics,

as you can find in the next text lecture.

And I also run a free newsletter

where I share some news, tutorials

and also some other interesting articles once per month.

So if you wanna check that out,

you can just subscribe over at Jonas.io.

So to make a long story short,

you should keep practicing as much as you can.

You should keep on top of web development news

and you should, of course never stop learning.

But anyway, to finish now,

it was really nice having you here,

and I'm just really happy and really grateful

to have taken this journey with you.

So good luck with your new skills.

Take care and I see you next time.
