There are many reasons to create a portfolio as a software developer. You might be new to the career and need a way to represent your capabilities. You might have worked exclusively at companies that firewall your work examples behind non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that protect their intellectual property. Or, maybe you're a freelancer or consultant and need to showcase your skills for potential clients.

No matter where you are in your career, you need to prove you know what you know.

But it's hard. It's hard to figure out what to build. It's hard to make the time required to build your portfolio projects.
Maybe you're a bootcamp grad who has the same GitHub projects as everyone else.

And it sucks to work alone while shouting into the void of the internet when you want to chat about the work or get ideas for next steps.

That's where an egghead Project Club comes in!

Each week, a group of developers of all levels and locations meets to discuss topics related to their project themes and share what they've built.

It similar to a book club, but with more focus on creating than just reading.
