Typographic Hierarchy in Print, Web & App Design
It all comes down to guiding the view and attention of readers purposefully. Contrast and spacing have the most influence.

Eventually, these techniques will only be as useful as your design has clear goals, relevant content and a reasonable structure.

It's OK to abandon your side project
My advice to a beginner dev struggling with their side-projects would be to always make sure that you're doing them for yourself, and for the right reasons. Instead of approaching your first project purely as a means to make it big or to impress recruiters, see it firstly as a means to learn and explore what's possible.
It's OK to abandon your side-project - Robb Owen
In an industry that pressures developers to always be shipping side-projects, it can be helpful to be retrospective with the projects that don't make the cut
That's it, see you next time.
