Day 10 Of #100DaysOfCode Challenge - My experience

I just completed 10 days of the #100DaysOfCode challenge. Although the whole of last week I didn't code due to unavoidable circumstances, the good part is that I was awarded a full software development scholarship. I will be starting my lessons this Feb for the next 6 months, I'm really excited.
So, here is what I learned in those 10 days.

JavaScript

  • JS functions, objects, classes, Arrays.

  • JS callback methods, async, and promises - although I didn't understand these very well. I will be going through them again.

I completed Frontend Mentor Challenges - Html & Css - newbie level and today I started the junior level. I'm proud of myself about this.

General experience

  • Coding for only one hour a day seems very short to me. I usually use a pomodoro app to time myself, but after 1 hour is over, I let myself code until I can't take it anymore. So, I usually code for more than 3 hours a day.

  • I usually post my daily report on Twitter and there is a very great supportive community their, and a lot of people doing the same 100daysofcode challenge. This motivates me to continue coding without giving up.

  • Those 10 days have made me realise that I love coding. Seeing myself build a wesite component from scratch is my biggest joy.

See you on day 20, as I share my great coding journey.

Congrats on the scholarship and finishing the frontend mentor challenges!

I'm on a similar path as you doing freecodecamp challenges as a way to learn JS and doing frontend mentor challenges!

There's a bootcamp that's doing code alongs of the JS course for the next 6 weeks.. I've been finding them very helpful.

If you sign up there's a discord where you can ask questions about JS, (if you need a community of learners).

Good luck on your journey!
