[Sparta Coding Club] Week 1 - Today I learned

What Made You Join Sparta Coding Club?

Today marks the end of my first week at Sparta Coding Club, and what a journey it has been! As I reflect on why I decided to join this club, the answer is clear - a passion for coding and the desire to be part of a community that shares the same enthusiasm. Sparta Coding Club seemed like the perfect platform to enhance my coding skills, learn new technologies, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Key Concepts Learned Today

In this week's sessions, we delved into a variety of key concepts that have expanded my understanding of coding. From mastering the intricacies of HTML and CSS to exploring the power of JavaScript, each lesson has been a building block towards becoming a proficient coder. Understanding the fundamentals is crucial, and the hands-on approach adopted by Sparta Coding Club has made these concepts more accessible and practical.

What Went Well or Wrong

In this learning journey, I faced both triumphs and challenges. A notable achievement was effectively implementing a responsive design using CSS Grid. Witnessing my webpage seamlessly adapt to various screen sizes brought immense satisfaction. On the other hand, tackling JavaScript debugging presented a hurdle. Yet, the supportive atmosphere cultivated by Sparta Coding Club, with mentor guidance and collaborative learning, turned challenges into valuable learning opportunities.

What Do You Want to Try Next?

Looking forward, I am eager to dive deeper into JavaScript frameworks, particularly React.js. The potential of building dynamic and interactive user interfaces using React has captured my interest, and I am excited to explore this in the upcoming weeks. Additionally, I plan to participate more actively in the club's coding challenges and collaborative projects, fostering a spirit of teamwork and innovation.

Your Homework (Page Screenshot or Video Capture)

As part of our homework assignment this week, we were tasked with creating a webpage that incorporated the concepts learned. Here's a screenshot of my accomplishment:

This exercise not only reinforced the concepts covered in the sessions but also allowed for creative expression in designing a webpage from scratch.

In conclusion, my first week at Sparta Coding Club has been a fulfilling experience, filled with learning, challenges, and a sense of community. I look forward to the weeks ahead, where I will continue to grow as a coder and contribute to the vibrant coding culture at Sparta.

Happy coding!
