Daily learning part twenty-five.

Today I started at 17:00. I began with the HTML session as usual. I completed HTML Entities, HTML Symbols, HTML Emojis, HTML Charset, HTML URL Encode, and HTML vs XHTML. I then practiced for about half an hour in VS Code.

After that, I started my Python session. I fixed a bug where the while loop would not break if it was a draw, and I also fixed the board by adding a simple display_board function. I am currently developing the AI for Tic‑Tac‑Toe. And I'm getting ready for my summer project.

Tomorrow is the last day of school. I probably won't be learning because I have my two other subject exams on Saturday in the course I talked about some time ago. I will also probably go to a different town for the summer.

Anyway, I watched some videos on XSS vulnerabilities and researched some other projects I can make over the summer.

Finally, I retook a unit test in Khan Academy. I ended the session at 20:40 due to personal stuff.

Daily learning part twenty-four.

Today I started at 16:00. I first started with an HTML session. I completed HTML Layout, HTML Responsive, HTML Computer Code, HTML Semantics, and HTML Style Guides. And I also practiced it in VS Code.
After this I took a 10-minute break; I take them after every hour or two.

Then I started my Python session. It took me a while, but I finally did it and removed the bugs. I only did it for 2 human players. I will do AI later. For the past 2 days I have failed trying to make the minimax function, so I tried only for 2 players. I have to make a better border though.

And finally, I retook 2 quizzes in Khan Academy and got Proficient on both of them. I finished at 20:30. I might have some learning delays this week because it's the last week of school, and I might go to my other house in another town.

Daily learning part twenty-three.

Today I traveled back home to bring some of my stuff because it's the last week of school. I arrived at 17:30 and started today's session at 18:00. I started with HTML by reviewing yesterday's session on HTML buttons and making a simple project, then I did some HTML sections: HTML Iframes, HTML JavaScript, HTML File Paths, and HTML Head. I practiced them in VS Code as well.

I then retook a quiz in Khan Academy to reach Proficient. I will not take any more lessons until I make all my quizzes Proficient.

I also did a two‑hour session on Python. First I watched some videos and read some articles on how to actually become better, and then continued my Tic‑Tac‑Toe project. The reason it's taking this long is because this is my first project where I am writing every single character myself and I am trying to use my brain and create the code myself. I finished today's session at 22:20 because tomorrow I have to wake up early and go back to my student residence.

Daily learning part twenty-two.

In the last two days I haven't been active. The reason is that I am in an Islamic course where we get taught 4 different Islamic subjects. Two times a year we have exams, and on Sunday I had an exam for the first two subjects. On Saturday I studied all day for the exam, and on Sunday I completed the exam. After that the organizers took us on a trip. I wasn't home all day, so unfortunately I couldn't study.

Anyways, today I started at 16:10. I first went to w3schools to complete some HTML sections. I completed HTML Lists, HTML Block & Inline, HTML Div, HTML Classes, HTML Id, and HTML buttons.

After that I started and spent the rest of the day on my Tic‑Tac‑Toe project. It was pretty hard, and I still couldn't complete it. Tomorrow I plan to finish it. I spent 2 hours on it.

And finally, I did one lesson in Khan Academy Algebra 1.

Daily Learning part twenty-one.

I haven't been active in three days due to Eid Al‑Adha. On Tuesday I went to my family house, where we go once in a while. We call it the family house because that's where my grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins live. I didn't bring my laptop with me because I wanted to spend some time with my family, which I haven't done in months. I stayed there for the two days of Eid.

Today I came back by bus. I was supposed to arrive at 17:00, but due to traffic I arrived at 18:40. When I arrived I ate a small sandwich and got back to work. I started the session at 19:30. The first thing I did was complete the HTML Tables section. It was difficult to learn (at least for me). It covered HTML Tables, Table Borders, Table Sizes, Table Headers, Padding & Spacing, Colspan & Rowspan, Table Styling, Table Colgroup, Exercises, and finally the Code Challenge.

Then I did a quiz and the Unit 2 test in Khan Academy and also completed one lesson in Unit 3.

Now I have started a Tic‑Tac‑Toe challenge in Python. I watched a video on the minimax algorithm, which the game uses. I have started coding, but I am far from finishing it. I am ending today's session at 23:40. Eid Al‑Adha Mubarak to all Muslims.

Daily learning part twenty.

Today I started at 15:30. I spent two hours on HTML Links, HTML Images, HTML Favicon, HTML Page Title, and on HTML practice. After that, I completed two lessons on Khan Academy Algebra 1. It is becoming more complex—not harder, just more complex. It takes me more time to solve problems. Then I had a break for about 50 minutes for dinner, and I cleaned my dorm.

I also did a really small Python script.

At the end, I watched a video: "These Coding Projects Will Set You Apart as a Programmer" by ForrestKnight. I ended today's session at 21:00.

Daily Learning part nineteen.

Today I started at 16:30. First, I did HTML Quotations, HTML Comments, HTML Colors, and HTML CSS. After that I practiced by doing different HTML projects-just me experimenting with HTML.

Then I started my Python scripting session. First I tried to do the 21 number game, but it was too complicated. I really tried doing it by myself but failed, so I did a Rock, Paper, Scissors game instead.

After this, I spent the rest of my time doing one lessons and a quiz on Khan Academy and watching some CyberNews.
I ended today's session at 21:50.

Daily learning part seventeen.

Today I started at 16:30. First, I began with the HTML course on W3schools.com. I did HTML Introduction, HTML Editors, HTML Basics, HTML Elements, HTML Attributes, HTML Headings, HTML Paragraphs, HTML Styles, and HTML Formatting. To make sure I learn them correctly this time, I've made a special folder where I keep HTML files to practice in VS Code.

I wrote only one Python script today-HTML took most of my time.

Hangman v2
This one is a hangman game. I made one like this yesterday, but today I created it with some modifications.

I wanted to see if there were any labs I could complete in Access Control, but all of them involved IDOR, which I have scheduled to learn later. Instead, I completed two lessons on Khan Academy and one quiz. Finally, I did some research on a few projects.

Daily learning part sixteen

I started today at 15:40. I did an Access Control lab. It took me quite a bit of time, but I completed it. Then I wrote two Python scripts.

Most basic TCP port scanner

Word guesser(More like a hangman, game in my opinion)

My past project ideas were previously given to me by an AI. I requested them because I thought the projects on the internet were too advanced. Now I've started taking ideas from the internet, like the Word guesser I made today. As for JavaScript, I'm not touching it for the moment. Most JavaScript projects also require HTML and CSS. So I need to re-learn HTML in detail and learn CSS over the next month or two, and also finish the entire JavaScript course.

Anyway, after the scripts I did another Access Control lab and then started Lesson 1, Unit 2 of Algebra 1 on Khan Academy. The internet at the student residence is pretty slow, so it takes me a long time to load videos and download things. This lesson took about 30-40 minutes. After the video, I did some research on personal tech projects and practiced Ghostbuster. I'm thinking of starting XSS vulnerabilities soon. I'll think of it.

Recovering: Learning progress Pt.15

Daily Learning part fifteen.

Today I didn't go to school again. My eye has healed a bit, but nothing else has.

I started my session at 14:00 by watching some videos on SSL/TLS, the differences between cheap and expensive certificates, and how to get them. I also enrolled in the learning section on how to use Burp in PortSwigger, which I should have done sooner.

At 15:45 I stopped because I had to travel back to the student residence. I arrived around 17:20.

When I arrived I rested for about 30 minutes and got back to work. I did 2 labs in PortSwigger Access Control and took 2 lessons, 1 quiz, and the Unit 1 test in Khan Academy Algebra 1.

I also wrote 2 scripts, one in Python and the other in JavaScript.

Grade Analyzer

This one was a recreation of one of my previous scripts.

TLD Counter

This one was a pretty easy one; I did it under 15 minutes.

I had to stop today's session at 21:30 because I have to study for a tomorrow test.

Daily learning part fourteen.

Last night the pain worsened. My head and my eye felt like they wanted to explode. I woke up too many times throughout the night and vomited. I had really bad sleep quality; I haven't been sick like this in years. When I woke up I tried to get myself together, and at 13:00 I started my session. First, I practiced dig and curl. In dig I practiced basics, and in curl I practiced parameter tampering.

I enrolled in the Access Control path on PortSwigger and did three labs. At that time my head was hurting so much I barely understood things, so I rested for an hour and tried the labs again.

I also did two lessons on Algebra 1 at Khan Academy. The last thing I did was a Python script.

Grade Analyzer.

This one took me about 30 minutes. I ended today's session at 19:30 because I have two tests tomorrow and I have to study. My head hurts and I don't even know how I am going to do it.

Migraine: Learning Progress Pt.13

Muhamed Maxhuni — Tue, 19 May 2026 19:41:20 +0000

Daily learning part thirteen.

Today I woke up with a migraine, an eye migraine, and a sore, hurting throat. I asked my class supervisor not to come to school and I didn't go. Sometime before 13:00 I started my cybersecurity session. I started with curl and practiced it on httpbin.org. I also reviewed my lessons in my networking notebook.

ended my session after 15:20 due to my head pain. At 15:50 I decided to travel from my student residence to my home. I arrived home at 16:50. I ate something and rested for about 20 minutes. My parents weren't home at that time, so I had to wait, and during that time I took two lessons on Khan Academy on Algebra. I also did two Python scripts. The first one was an easy script, but by that time my migraine had become really bad.

HTTP Method Enumerator
This was a simple script that took a URL and sent different HTTP methods. Here is the script:

After this I went to the hospital, where the doctor gave me different medications for breathing, throat, eye, head pain, and nose. When I came home I started the next script.

Log Parser with Classes & Lambda

This one took me two and a half hours to finish. When I started it, it was pretty easy, but halfway through my head started to explode. I finished it at 21:10. I had to end today's session due to the unbearable pain. Here is the script:
