Code Conquest Newsletter #15
June 5, 2013
What’s the most fun part of coding? We think it’s working on your own project. You can make your own website, a mobile app, or whatever you like. And you’re free to build it however you like. It’s much more fun than following along with a tutorial.
Ever since we started the Code Conquest website in September of last year, we’ve always made sure that there’s enough information to help you build your projects.
First, we put together a list of project ideas for if you were stuck trying to decide what to make:

Then, we showed you how to turn your coding project idea into a plan:

Until now, the final piece of the puzzle has been missing. Once you’ve got an idea and a plan, how do you go about building your creation?
How to Build a Programming Project completes the Code Conquest series on programming projects. It includes helpful tips on…
- using tools
- testing and debugging your code
- getting help
- putting on the finishing touches
- deploying your creation.
