Practice and knowledge rentention

I have completed the digital literacy track and i am currently on the early end of the front end development track. I was Looking for advice as to what kind of projects i could take part in to be able to practice and retain what i'm learning as i'm progressing along the track ? Or would it be better for me to focus on finishing the track before venturing into anything ?

I think that it is best if you do some small projects while working on completing a track, as this will help you retain more information, and it will help you learn what you need to review again.

You could try to make a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division calculator with JavaScript, make a website for a sports team using HTML and CSS, or come up with something else.

Try to include topics that you might be confused about in your websites, having trouble remembering how functions work in javascript? Try to incorporate them into your design. Don't grasp how margin and padding differ? Experiment with changing the padding of elements and the margin of elements. Reviewing videos in the track can also help but it's better to do hands on exercises.

Thanks for the Tips Gabriel, I appreciate it !
