Add a skill you already have Press Enter after each

Build the schedule

Hours you can study each week Be honest — a plan you cannot keep is worse than none How many weeks What you will use Course, book, tutorial, project — one per line

Your weeks

Mark some skills as gaps first, then build the plan.
