learned a lot 9 9 00:00:19,489 --> 00:00:22,025 from all of the lectures. 10 10 00:00:22,025 --> 00:00:23,665 What I showed you in this course will 11 11 00:00:23,665 --> 00:00:25,631 give you a strong foundation, 12 12 00:00:25,631 --> 00:00:28,047 and you are now able to build beautiful websites 13 13 00:00:28,047 --> 00:00:29,964 completely on your own. 14 14 00:00:31,158 --> 00:00:32,838 Now, let me tell you this. 15 15 00:00:32,838 --> 00:00:35,175 This may be the end of this course, 16 16 00:00:35,175 --> 00:00:38,125 but it certainly isn't the end of your journey. 17 17 00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:40,542 In fact, it is just the beginning. 18 18 00:00:40,542 --> 00:00:44,459 There is still so much more fun stuff to learn. 19 19 00:00:45,293 --> 00:00:48,937 Actually, I will be adding bonus lectures in the future 20 20 00:00:48,937 --> 00:00:51,434 about topics that you, my students, 21 21 00:00:51,434 --> 00:00:53,977 wish to learn more about. 22 22 00:00:53,977 --> 00:00:55,739 So, if enough students want to learn 23 23 00:00:55,739 --> 00:00:59,099 about a specific topic, I will be very happy 24 24 00:00:59,099 --> 00:01:01,596 to add a bonus video about it. 25 25 00:01:01,596 --> 00:01:04,056 So, let me know about that in the comment section 26 26 00:01:04,056 --> 00:01:05,723 right of this video. 27 27 00:01:07,826 --> 00:01:10,489 Now, once you're a web designer and developer, 28 28 00:01:10,489 --> 00:01:12,617 one thing you will want to do is 29 29 00:01:12,617 --> 00:01:15,199 to keep up with the web industry. 30 30 00:01:15,199 --> 00:01:17,206 Things are in constant change, 31 31 00:01:17,206 --> 00:01:20,197 and there are always new things to learn. 32 32 00:01:20,197 --> 00:01:23,267 For instance, five years ago, no one even knew 33 33 00:01:23,267 --> 00:01:25,520 responsive web design existed. 34 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,189 And today, you simply cannot build a non-responsive website. 35 35 00:01:30,189 --> 00:01:33,017 So, the best thing you can do to keep up 36 36 00:01:33,017 --> 00:01:35,024 with all the new best practices, 37 37 00:01:35,024 --> 00:01:38,712 new tools and new resources is to read web design 38 38 00:01:38,712 --> 00:01:40,966 and development blogs. 39 39 00:01:40,966 --> 00:01:43,179 There are plenty of them on the internet, 40 40 00:01:43,179 --> 00:01:45,433 and I put some of the ones I follow 41 41 00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:47,183 in the course e-book. 42 42 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:51,944 Now, maybe you wonder what else you can do now 43 43 00:01:51,944 --> 00:01:53,707 to practice your new skills, 44 44 00:01:53,707 --> 00:01:56,207 and even start to earn some money. 45 45 00:01:56,207 --> 00:02:00,221 Well, there are actually a lot of things you can do. 46 46 00:02:00,221 --> 00:02:03,460 For instance, redesign existing websites 47 47 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:06,041 that you think are poorly designed. 48 48 00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:08,089 If you know the owner of the website, 49 49 00:02:08,089 --> 00:02:09,890 you can even show your redesign 50 50 00:02:09,890 --> 00:02:12,923 and offer them your services. 51 51 00:02:12,923 --> 00:02:15,179 You can also design a website for free 52 52 00:02:15,179 --> 00:02:18,580 for a local charity or something like that. 53 53 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:22,267 Or, go to 99 Designs and join design contests. 54 54 00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:24,531 You will make designs for different contests, 55 55 00:02:24,531 --> 00:02:28,494 and if you win, you get the prize money. 56 56 00:02:28,494 --> 00:02:30,543 And once you're more confident, 57 57 00:02:30,543 --> 00:02:32,795 you can start to do some freelance work 58 58 00:02:32,795 --> 00:02:36,153 on freelancing websites such as freelancer.com, 59 59 00:02:36,153 --> 00:02:37,570 oDesk, or Elance. 60 60 00:02:38,485 --> 00:02:41,394 You can find lots of stuff about these websites 61 61 00:02:41,394 --> 00:02:44,477 in case you want to start doing this. 62 62 00:02:46,307 --> 00:02:48,518 I would also love it if you'd stay here 63 63 00:02:48,518 --> 00:02:52,575 in the course forums helping out others whenever you can, 64 64 00:02:52,575 --> 00:02:54,994 and remain a valuable part of this community 65 65 00:02:54,994 --> 00:02:57,867 we're building together here. 66 66 00:02:57,867 --> 00:03:00,120 Even now that you've completed the course, 67 67 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,038 feel free to ask me any question you might have. 68 68 00:03:04,038 --> 00:03:06,995 Now, let me give you one last piece of advice. 69 69 00:03:06,995 --> 00:03:11,542 Practice, practice, practice your new skills. 70 70 00:03:11,542 --> 00:03:14,190 Please never stop learning 71 71 00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:16,977 and you will achieve more than you can imagine. 72 72
