What you'll create
Portfolio projects that showcase your new skills
Numero Uno Software Store
Create an application for ordering software products. A store with a defined set of products and shipping types is a great opportunity to use enumerations!
School Database
Build on your knowledge of optionals by creating a mock school database that can handle missing information.
Calculator
Use closures to give additional information to functions by creating a calculator that can combine, filter, and transform numbers.
