I find that building coding projects is my favorite way of getting practice with languages and learning how to do more in specific areas. If you aren't confident enough in your skills, try and find tutorials that help you build a complete project. Ex: If you want to learn more about conditionals, objects, and get more familiar with Javascript, try building a text based adventure, like the classic game Zork. If you want to learn how to make games and display dynamic content in your browser, try and make "Snake". If you want to learn more about web communication technologies, try making something like a chat app, that lets you send messages to other computers and display them as they arrive. Projects aren't the only way to learn to code, but I like that I have to design them from the ground up when I don't have a tutorial. In addition, I end up with a finished Project that I can use for something (if it's functional) or use as an example when approaching further or more difficult projects. Most of all, I like building things that are distinctly personal (designed, written, styled, etc. by me). If you end up building a project that is really good or unique, you might be able to use it for a resume. Keep in mind that projects are not for everyone, and probably best if you are already familiar with most of the language(s) you will use. Last note: seriously try to build a text based adventure. It's a relatively easy project, and it works with pretty much every programming language. It's also an excellent way to end up with a simple game that you have written from scratch, that other people may enjoy too.
