100 Days Of Code - Log - Michael Wright

Days 7 & 8: November 1 & 2, 2017

Today's Progress:

  1. The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0 (Udemy) - Finished the Javascript section.
  2. The Web Developer Bootcamp Udemy Course - Completed the Javascript Basics - Objects Module.
  3. Codecademy - Completed the following modules from Introduction to Javascript: Objects.
  4. freeCodeCamp - Completed a further 18 exercises in the Basic Javascript Module.
  5. Scotch.io - Getting Started with JavaScript - Completed lesson 9 - Objects and lesson 10 - Built in Objects.
  6. Sololearn - Completed the Objects and Core Objects modules of the Javascript Tutorial.

Thoughts: Delving into more complex subject matters and it's definitely taking longer for things to fully sink in which is slowing down progress. Finally getting more into the DOM from tomorrow which I'm happy about. It should let me put in more time working on the practical side of things rather than just the theory so hopefully that will help me put things together more easily.

Days 5 & 6: October 30 & 31, 2017

Today's Progress:

  1. Codecademy - Completed the following modules from Introduction to Javascript: Arrays, Loops and Iterators.
  2. Scotch.io - Getting Started with JavaScript - Completed lesson 8 - Functions.
  3. The Web Developer Bootcamp Udemy Course - Completed the Javascript Basics - Arrays Module.
  4. freeCodeCamp - Completed a further 38 exercises in the Basic Javascript Module.
  5. The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0 (Udemy) - Completed the videos on Arrays, If Statements and Loops.

Thoughts Lot's more working through videos and exercises done. Am looking forward to getting to the stage where I learn about working with the DOM so I can build some proper things rather than just working with alert and console.log. Everything still going Okay though.

Days 3 & 4: October 28 & 29, 2017

Today's Progress:

  1. freeCodeCamp - Completed the first 40 exercises of the Basic Javascript Module. Note: I plan to leave the jQuery module until I have learned more Javascript.
  2. Codecademy - Completed the following modules from Introduction to Javascript: Variables, Control Flow, Functions and Scope.
  3. Sololearn - Completed the Conditionals & Loops and Functions modules of the Javascript Tutorial. Also completed the whole of HTML Fundamentals.
  4. The Web Developer Bootcamp Udemy Course - Completed the Javascript Basics - Functions Module.

Thoughts: Been feeling pretty under the weather this weekend but kept learning more Javascript. Things are definitely getting more complex the further into the courses I go. I think I've got the fundamentals of functions down now though but it's been hard going. Early finish to Day 4 (Sunday) and back to it tomorrow hopefully feeling refreshed and raring to go.

Day 2: October 27, 2017

Today's Progress:

  1. freeCodeCamp - Did 12 exercises finishing the Bootstrap section.
  2. Codecademy - Completed Introduction to Javascript: Introduction to Javascript, Learn Git: Basic Git Workflow & Learn Git: How to Backtrack in Git.
  3. GitHub - Forked the 100-days-of-code repo and started this log.
  4. Sololearn - Joined and completed the Overview & Basic Concepts modules of the Javascript Tutorial.
  5. Scotch.io - Getting Started with JavaScript - Completed the first 7 lessons.
  6. The Web Developer Bootcamp Udemy Course - Completed the Javascript Basics - Control Flow Module.

Thoughts: It's 11:20pm and it's been a long day of learning. Maybe using so many sources is slowing me down but I feel it's helping me understand things a lot more fully. Most of what I've learned today has been focused around loops in Javascript and I feel I've got a decent understanding of them to take forward.

I'm finding the scotch.io course to be a lot more fast moving than the others and so far it's the only one that has mentioned ES6. The main takeaway on that so far is using const or let instead of var to declare a variable.

All in all it's been a tiring but I feel productive day.

Day 1: October 26, 2017

Today's Progress: Started learning JavaScript using the resources I mention in my Medium post. Created 2 small scripts extending a couple of exercises from the courses.

I also installed and used Git for the first time and in the process completed the Hacktoberfest challenge.

Published a Medium post with more info.

Thoughts: Although I've only scratched the surface of the basics of JS I'm surprised how well I'm taking it in. Hope this continues ;)
