One of the more difficult things junior developers seem to struggle with is knowing what portfolio projects to build to be marketable and competitive in the job search. I went over a variety of types of projects and how much they help you stand out among your competition.

If you're wondering what types of projects to build for your portfolio to stand out, this one's for you.
