100DaysOfCode : Week 0-2

#100daysofcode #codenewbie #webdev #beginners

Hello everyone! 😄👋

After days(S) of contemplation on whether should I start documenting my #100DaysOfCode challenge journey; I finally am...

HERE! WRITING!I think imposter syndrome got the best of me * nervous laughter *. Also, this is my first time of writing a blog, so I hope I do it right & I'm open to constructive criticism. Diving into it ~

On Nov 6, 2020 I made the decision to publicly commit to the challenge and I'm really happy to say that so far, I've completed 3 weeks i.e, 21 days of it already!

I'm amazed that I learnt so many new concepts in this short time span and came across some works of really amazing developers on Twitter which left me in awe✨. Tech Twitter is so positive and encouraging. I'm really appreciative of the fact that people are so supportive there! And those Twitter bots🤖! Them! retweeting my progress tweets! HOW MOTIVATING IS THAT THING! plus that also helps my work to reach more people out there.

Anyways, my reason for starting this challenge is to improve, learn new technologies, inculcate in good practices and grow as a developer. The plan so far is like this:

Learn React
Do some coding
Vanilla JavaScript projects!!
Do some more coding ㅠ_ㅠ
CSS Animation (if you have any guide or something, please let me know)
Get better at CSS Art (the "works" that I mentioned above inspired me to try it out)

This is just a random order which I wrote as they came inside my head and the list will definitely EXPAND! Moving on~
