Hello, Dev community! ๐
This is my first post on dev.to, and Iโm excited to share my journey so far in the #100DaysOfCode challenge. Iโve embarked on this journey to become a better full-stack developer, focusing on strengthening my front-end skills, improving my understanding of key concepts, and pushing myself to code every single day.
My Progress So Far
So far, Iโve completed seven days of the challenge, and each day has been packed with new learning experiences. Hereโs a quick recap:
Day 1: I dived into HTML and built a simple cat photo app. ๐ฑ It was a great way to refresh my basic HTML skills and set the tone for the rest of the challenge.
Day 2: I moved on to CSS, completing the "Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu" module on freeCodeCamp. ๐จ This helped me practice styling elements and improving the visual layout of a website.
Day 3: I used HTML and CSS to build a table showcasing top learning platforms. ๐ This project helped me improve my layout and design skills.
Day 4 & 5: I built a set of colored markers using CSS and a registration form. These two projects introduced me to more advanced CSS techniques like gradients, box shadows, and CSS form structure.
Day 6: No new concepts, but I worked on mastering the concepts I had learned. I also completed and passed a form survey project! ๐
Day 7: I created a minimalist Rothko-style painting using CSS. This project allowed me to dive deeper into the CSS Box Model, layering, and abstract design.

Challenges Iโve Faced
It hasnโt been smooth sailing all the way through. Some of the challenges Iโve encountered include:
Time management: Balancing coding with other commitments can be difficult, but staying consistent is key.
Debugging CSS: CSS can be tricky at times, especially when positioning elements or working with responsive designs.
Staying motivated: On days when things don't go as planned, maintaining motivation has been a real challenge.
Despite these obstacles, Iโm proud of the progress Iโve made and the solutions Iโve discovered along the way.
Goals and What I Hope to Achieve
Looking ahead, my goals for this challenge are simple yet ambitious:
Complete the 100 days: This is my biggest goal, to stay consistent, code daily, and push myself to finish the challenge.
Master front-end development: I want to solidify my knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and then move on to backend technologies.
Build real-world projects: By the end of the challenge, I aim to have a portfolio of projects that showcase my skills and knowledge, from basic websites to more complex applications.
Thank you for reading my post! I hope to inspire others to keep pushing through challenges and keep learning. Feel free to check out my GitHub and follow along as I continue my journey.
Hereโs to progress and continuous learning! ๐ช
