Developing for Students

[Isaac Rowe]

Hey guys,
I am a high school student who has recently gotten involved with web developing (basic HTML and CSS). I am super excited with all the possibilities being a developer brings. I am very impressed by the treasure trove of information known as the Mozilla Developer Network.
With summer break approaching, could I get any advice on how to expand my knowledge and make myself useful? The amount of info on your site is overwhelming and I don't know where to start. I would appreciate any feedback.

View my first website (created with a friend as a school project) at bit.ly/Zd3UlJ

Thanks!

In my opinion, the best thing is to get involve in a project, build
something you care about.

What do you want to learn? or write about?

I think you can see the websites as 2 parts:
* reference (which is more factual info to pick when needed)
* guide (which is more tutorial/long-form explanation with longer examples)
Guides can be a better place to start, but it may not be always easy to
find them. You're working on re-organising the content to make this
distinction clearer.

I can't see it as I'm in France :-(
