#100DaysOfCode : My journey

#100daysofcode #codenewbie #womenintech

Just few day back, I was all about scrolling twitter feeds and looking up at activity. There I came to know about #100daysofcode and got quick attracted to it.

Accomplishment

Throughout my journey, I came across lots of courses, meetups and knowledge guides.
I have started by learning Javascript, React, Redux and Express js courses to get more used to react⚛. I have started learning and exploring AWS services, well we need a cloud☁️. All the journey continued to python🐍 exploring up python libraries - pandas, numpy, matplotlib, re and seaborn. for strengthening scripting skills. Oh I just forgot to mention MongoDB🌱

References / Resources

Javascript

I already knew Javascript, so I was looking for revision. But still there is lot more, I don't know yet.(it's alien thing 😉).

I have used javascript.info for revision, I found it more understandable.

React, Redux and express js

I have worked on react earlier but didn't had enough confidence on it. So I felt it better to start from scratch.

I have used official site of react and Express Js.

MongoDB

It was a quiet new for me. So I just choose to learn from youtube.

I have followed MongoDB for beginners

AWS

I already have worked with Dynamodb and EC2 earlier, and in future no matter which technology stack I choose AWS is going to be stay. For AWS, I wanted more practical knowledge then theoretical so their own digital classroom was the best option.

Other than that I have taken up coursera course -
AWS Going Cloud Naive and AWS - fundamentals addressing security risk.

Python

I have earlier learned python 2.7 years back but didn't used python 3.6. So thought to deep dive into it. I have used various sources to learn such as data camp, hackerrank, analytics vidhya and coursera.

Challenges / Problems

It is not possible for human to work continuously without taking rest.
There was some days were I have to deal with some other emergency and couldn't focus on challenge. Well in such case it's better to take a leave rather than forcing.
Sometimes I have felt mentally tired and let's take a break not a big deal. But the thing is even a single day matter's a lot. Just take short break from daily routine. Instead of learning something new, revise something you already learned or play some fun coding game.

Take away

I have become consistent and discipline learner.
I have learned about dev community on Twitter who will help you when you need.
I have built somewhat confidence on technology I have learned throughout my journey.
It has built enough motivation within me.
