I really hate asynchronous programming, but I spent today making a set of generic C# classes that handle API requests/responses that I can reuse in future programs so I don't have to do this again.

I'm participating in Advent of Code for the first time and learned a lot about parsing inputs as external files this week.

Related to Advent of Code, I learned that in Javascipt .split() takes an optional second argument of a number of splits to make. It came in handy for the Day 2 problem.

And I watched Ania's Make Your Oen API video. I've done a few projects with backend APIs but the refresher on building a very simple one was inspiring and helpful.

Nice! I have the book, but haven't started it yet. I have some others to read first, but will probably get to this during the holidays.

I got an intro to pair programming with Martin Fowler's article. I'm excited to practice more now that I know the theory.

I launched my #100DaysOfKotlin learning journey - and in the process I learned about mkdocs (static site generator using markdown), discovered their material-mkdocs theme and became obsessed with it.

End result:
Learned enough to get a site running that is perfect for my #100Days journey!
See: kotlin.fyi

I really want to write a post on mkdocs now and I hope to do that soon. But for the curious - here are the links (and yes it deploys to GitHub pages easily - and can be setup with Github Actions to auto build/deploy - though I haven't done that yet)

Mkdocs: mkdocs.org/
Material Theme: squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

Bonus: It's really built for effective documentation requirements so if you understand and love folder hierarchies for organizing information, and Markdown for formatting pages - then you will 😍 it too!
