#100DaysOfCode
So for the past 12 months, I have been teaching myself web development using Udemy and been having a fantastic time learning and being in the community and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to learn code.
Earlier this week I had found myself stressing over when I would have the time to work through these courses and obtain the skills I want for my career. That’s when I found #100DaysOfCode. A simple challenge that coders everywhere are participating on Twitter. The goal is simple, code every day for the next 100 days for at least one hour a day and tweet about it using the hashtag #100DaysOfCode. Now, one hour might be a bit much for some people, so I’m going try stick to at least 30 minutes a day. I picked this because it’s much easier for me to smash out 30 minutes of work on my lunch break then an hour.
Seeing as I have no interest in using Twitter I’m going to post here on Steemit! Anyone who would like to join in, please message me and we can help keep each other motivated.
During my 100 days I’m going to be working on the Udemy course, The Complete Node.js Developer Course (2nd Edition) by Andrew Mead. I’m halfway through this course and want the extra motivation to keep going.
I’ll be using the app Wakka time to show my progress each day.
And remember, keep coding 🤓
Do you learn software concepts as well? Lean how to code isn't much. But software concepts like design patterns or how to divide your app in layers (e. g. the mvc model) is a huge thing.
That's why I don't like coding books. They just teach you how to code.
What I have been learning of late does not have too many software concepts and has been focusing more on the programming. Although, the course I am on does not just focus on writing code but also teaches you how to use tools like a command line and how to install packages and so on. Most other courses I have taken focus so much on the code you never learn on how to deploy. I'd definalty like to start focusing on design patterns and UX as well, as this is something that I have worked on briefly in the past. If you have any recomendations for rescourse I would be very intrested :)
UI UX is extremely important and there's some good books on it as well.
Yeah, but first you should concentrate on programming, not on any magic GUI effect.
I started programming with C# console applications. One year only console.
