[11-24/100]
Days have been passing quickly. I neglected this blog a bit since not much interesting has been happening and writing posts takes a bit of time. Without having any written proof, I can attest that I am still going strong with the 100 days of coding challenge and haven been pretty productive during my absent days on here. I haven been mainly focusing on training my skills and newly gained knowledge on Code Wars and doing the Bootcamp classes.
Right now, I am finishing Advanced DOM Manipulation and it has been going great. I did this type of work before with jQuery and didn't know anything about JS approach to it. So far it has been pretty logical and clear to me how to use it. Next step will be brushing off my elementary knowledge of jQuery itself.
In general, things are going at a slow pace since with every concept I do my research, go over the MDN docs and articles, try to practice it on CW (Code Wars) and don't stop till I feel confident I got a good grasp of it. At this stage, arrays and functions are quite understandable to me and I quickly solve any challenges. I have started attempting Object Oriented JS and have some practice to do before I can call it a day.
At some point I wrote about struggling with a practical way of writing JS since all I have been doing so far was customizing existing plugins (most often jQuery ones) without writing any of my own. CW have been an awesome solution for that and finally I have a place to turn the theoretical knowledge into a practical one and gain experience. Things always seem logical and easy in a class, when the teacher is writing a code and talking through the process but independent thinking is a different ball game especially considering that each case is unlike another. Having a tool like CW has been a (internet)godsend.
Speaking of ways to practice, yesterday I discovered a CodePen challenges and did my own attempt at one of their Halloween tasks. All this creative approach to coding is new to me and up to this point I have been doing pretty standard things like customizing and building regular websites. Nothing fancy. So this is definitely outside my comfort zone and I am looking forward to giving it a try.
I do want to start sharing some of my code here, maybe tutorials etc.. For sure this is something I need to start doing on GitHub as well.
