You did it! You've earned your certificate.
It wasn't always easy, but you got all the way through. You now know more HTML and CSS than hundreds of thousands of would-be developers who read but don't practice. It's a major accomplishment. Congratulations.
I'd like to create a permanent webpage for you, at no charge, that displays this certificate--but 4 times larger--with your name on it. I'll also give you buttons to share your certificate on social media, your website, and blog. You can also download it and print it on your printer. Order the certificate (no charge).
Post a review on Amazon for the paperback or the Kindle edition.
