DEV Community: nano-c

100 Days of Code day 5 (except I skipped one because I was sick)

I accidentally skipped a day because I was sick and it was only the third day so now I am an accidental liar D:

I've focused on working with Python and will probably mostly continue to do so, but I need to brush up on Java before school starts. I've mostly been building things from the Python web dev course I'm following.

I also emailed my friends' dad who wants a website and maybe I can help with that next week.

It will be so hard to go back to work on Tuesday!! Trying to teach yourself everything you want to know plus everything you think you need to know before you start school while working a 40-but-really-more-like-50 hour a week job is honestly pretty brutal and it's no wonder I'm burnt out.

But! Tomorrow is a day for grilled pineapple and nothing else really matters.

100 Days of Code - Day 1

I am so jetlagged I've been up since 2 am. I read somewhere that the school I applied to uses Java, so I decided to get a book to get used to the syntax and so on before I (hopefully) start next month.

So far it looks like it's similar to C++, for my purposes.

So anyway in terms of days of code! I've pushed a version of the number guessing game in Java. I will do the same for Rust (which I want to learn for personal interest reasons). Then I will work on something web-devvy front-endy, hopefully from a coffeeshop. That's more related to my current career goals soooo it makes sense.

I also have this crazy urge to draw Louise Belcher using CSS. Maybe over the coming weeks.

100 Days of Code Challenge

I looked at my github profile today

and realized... it has been months since I wrote anything outside of work.

I have so many ideas and things I've planned to do! So many projects to work on! But, for an entire almost 3 months, I've only written code for work and done maybe three leetcode challenges. Easy ones.

So this challenge is serious: Starting on Wednesday, 5/22 (because I will be traveling until Tuesday) I will push something to github every single day. And it will be related to one of my projects on at least 75 of those days.

It's realer and more serious if you tell people about it, is it not?
