100 days of learning to code

day 55/100

Started to build a ping-pong style game using p5.js , I started with the basic elements I would need (the background, bar and ball). Then I used the built in mouseX and constraint functions for the bar and the bounce example from the reference docs for the ball. Still got a couple of things to do before it's done ... but I've attached a recording :)

Have you used p5.js before?

Started looking into p5.js and animating with code... had a bit of fun with it.

It's no work of art but you can have a look here: https://editor.p5js.org/Carolina-Filipe/full/fDWaVEkhC

100 days of learning to code

day 51/100

travelling has really messed up my schedule ... It's taken me almost two weeks to settle in the new flat and get back to my usual routine. Hence the lack of posts ... Over these weeks I did read about JS here and there and did small tweaks to my app but nothing huge.

Today I made good progress on JS basics book and worked out a problem on my app that's been setting me back for a little while.

also... set up a new TW account >>> https://twitter.com/cdnfilipe

I honestly can’t believe I’m half way through this challenge! It’s making me really appreciate the this tumblr community && everyone’s support 🥰

Today was a travel day so I didn’t get to do much coding. But I did have some spare time at the airport…so I coded a little while watching airplanes take off ✈️

Hope everyone has a great weekend 😄

happy Friday! today I worked on my app for a couple of hours. I wanted to do a bit more but had to pack up and get ready for tomorrow as I have to leave early in the morning. Can't wait to explore Croatia. If you've got any recommendations for Zagreb or Zadar please let me know 🥰

Hey quick question how did you get into coding and do you have any resources for someone who is a complete newbie

Hey,

I started looking into code because I was curious.

I wanted to do a better job of understanding websites and how they work (mostly to be better at my day job). So I started by doing a lot of reading online on web development. Once I tried coding for myself, I really enjoyed it and kept going!

I'm still very new to coding tbh, I've only been taking it seriously for about 2-3 months. But when I first started looking into it, I did a few free lessons from codecademy on JavaScript and CSS.

These were fun and interactive lessons. They do a good job at segmenting content into bitesize chunks. I found it a good way to practice as you learn. They have lessons on other languages too.

Now, I am continuing to learn JS mostly through Eloquent JavaScript as I find it gives a more detailed explanation into concepts, and because it is a book, I also find it easier to reference back to when working on a project.

Hope this helps & good luck :)

happy Thursday!

I had a packed day today. Started by fixing a bug on my app from yesterday's feature. Once that was done, I took a bit of time to read on JavaScript data structures before working on the next step. This was really helpful, as it made executing and debugging much quicker!

I'm still trying to get as much of the core functionality done before Saturday as I won't have as much time to work on it during my holiday. I still want to try and keep it up next week, but I'll probably only be able to dip in and out and do some css tweaks rather than feature work.

100 Days of learning to code

day 47/100

I feel like I've been on a huge rollercoaster over the past few months... some days I feel like I got this others I don't. Today started with me feeling very , very lost. But after a few hours of staring at my own code I finally got to grips with it and made some progress, slow but progress none the less. I'm trying to get as much done as possible as I'm on holiday next week and don't want to loose the flow of things. So I'm now continuing to go through JS basics before calling it a day.

what websites are you using to help learn coding?

Hi,

I'm mainly learning through the 'React 16: The Complete Course' on Udemy by Maximilian Schwarzmüller (his YouTube videos are also very good although some are outdated). It's a lengthy course but very detailed with course projects that could easily be translated to real-life apps.

For React related questions or info on key concepts and getting started I go to the React website. Also their videos from the React Conferences are very detailed with demos.

For CSS and HTML info I go to Web3School. They also have exercises and tests you can do. Or if I'm using a library (e.g material UI or tailwind) I go to their documentation pages.

If I'm looking for help with a specific component - Pedro Tech on Youtube has really good step-by-step tutorials.

I find a lot of good answers to similar questions to mine or what an error message actually means on StackOverflow.

so today I found a bug in my code, it took me a while to figure out exactly where it was and why it was making bugs in my app. I then called it quits with the app as I was getting really frustrated and after a little break I carried on with course lectures.
