A LOT has happened recently that made me decide I wanted to centre my #100DaysOfCode project around #antiracism. My plan is to create an interactive online resource/database that highlights community organisers & resources in the UK. Wish me luck 😅 #WomenWhoCode
Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode

Created a rough draft of my structure & created the skeleton of a website with various pages on GitHub using HTML & CSS

Didn't get as much done as I wanted but hopefully tomorrow I can power through and create something worth showing 😅
Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode

Sooooo.....I ended up going back and scrapping my entire skeleton to start from 0 again

There's a slight chance I can't see the wood for the trees but I just keep telling myself if my foundation is strong everything else will fall into place more easily
Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode

Finally getting somewhere with the website pages 🥳 also used the day to refine my Bootstrap skills and do some really simple coding exercises to help myself feel less anxious #CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode
Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode

Didn't feel great today so I kept coding to a minimum (I did create a rough form though- will edit tomorrow) & started collecting more resources to highlight. It's a heavy project I feel a strong emotional attachment to so I'm taking it a little slower
Day 5 of #100DaysOfCode

Redid my mock-up for my project (themed around anti-racism work in the UK) & added a few things. I've narrowed my original design down to 4 pages, 3 will be relatively simple (the design & the coding process), the final page is what I'm worried about 🥶
Day 6 of #100DaysOfCode

Fiddled around with HTML & CSS for my website but I wasn't feeling great today so I didn't push myself super hard.

Does anyone else get migraines when they code? If you do, how do you deal with it? #WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie
Days 7 & 8 of #100DaysOfCode

CSS is kicking my backside #CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode #WomenInTech
Day 9 of #100DaysOfCode

Reviewed the basics of a #freecodecamp CSS course and had a look at the source codes of different websites to better understand how to piece things together

#WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie
Days 10 11 & 12 of #100DaysOfCode

Got distracted & made different types of #CSS buttons 😂 also realised I'm in danger of forgetting everything related to flexbox so I've been watching YouTube videos about it #WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie #womenintech
Days 13-17 of #100DaysOfCode

Why 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 this 👏🏽 so 👏🏽 tedious
Day 18 of #100DaysOfCode

Still reviewing my CSS 💀

The @simplexcode_ weekly template is so helpful she just uploaded it today and I've already mapped out my learning for March #WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie
19 of #100DaysOfCode

Went through a course on freeCodeCamp and worked on some #HTML & #CSS. But most of the day was dedicated to this one as he wasn't feeling well and had a vet appointment
Day 20 of #100DaysOfCode

I made animated CSS buttons and not only are they adorable they also WORK I finally got somewhere with something 😭 #CodeNewbie #womenintech
Days 21 & 22 of #100DaysOfCode

This is officially a flexbox hate account 😤

#CSS #womenwhocode #DEVCommunity #CodeNewbie
Days 22 - 32 of #100DaysOfCode

I might....like flexbox now...?

The coding version of a situationship 🤣 my Python skills are slowly coming along & I joined a few Slack spaces that have all been super helpful

#WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie
Day 33 of #100DaysOfCode

Taking a break from CSS to shift my focus to Python (the Udemy course is 👌🏽)

Ik I've asked before but fr coding sometimes gives me awful migraines if y'all have ANY tips please help ya girl out

#CodeNewbie #DEVCommunity #WomenWhoCode #womenintech
Day 34 of #100DaysOfCode

Brushed up on #Python & #CSS, and then caught the last few minutes of the sunset
Day 35 of #100DaysOfCode

No coding today as I've been consistently neglecting my mental health and it's all just hit me like a truck

Might take tomorrow off too, sucks bc I made this account specifically to track & celebrate my progress but you gotta do what you gotta do
Days 36 & 37 of #100DaysOfCode

Really want to connect with more #CodeNewbies & #WomenWhoCode in the #DEVCommunity so if you're interested in sharing tips & resources &/or forming a newbie support bubble lol hmu or reply below ☺️
Day 38 of #100DaysOfCode

Was inspired by @Prathkum to try and make my a Twitter header using only HTML & CSS, took an embarrassingly long time haha but not bad for a first attempt!

Days 39 - 41 of #100DaysOfCode

Does anyone else feel like they'd be further ahead than they currently are?

I know the only thing to do is stick with it (& I am) but maintaining motivation is so difficult when you're teaching yourself

#CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode #DEVCommunity
Days 42 -43 of #100DaysOfCode

I like CSS but it does not like me back...it's fine. I'm fine 🥲.
Days 44-49 of #100DaysOfCode

After 3 days of having no wifi (literally AT ALL) I finally got to preview my code and it was shambolic 💀

Back to the drawing board we go
Days 50 - 51 of #100DaysOfCode

I bought two domains...I don't know why I think I just got excited.

Am I already becoming a domain hoarder? Is there a support group I can join down the line?

#WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie #DEVCommunity
Day 52 of #100DaysOfCode

A friend of mine runs a construction business & asked me to create a mock-up for a landing page

Not responsive (yet) but I'm into it so far!

(Icons are from a free library I tried making them via CSS but it was awful)

#WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie
Days 53 - 58 of #100DaysOfCode

Seasonal flu (remember that? Good times) has been kicking my arse but on the bright side I'm making progress with Python
Days 59 & 60 of #100DaysOfCode

When a project isn't going the way you wanted & nothing seems to fix the issue, how do you motivate yourself to carry on with it?

#CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode #WomenInSTEM #DEVCommunity
Day 61 of #100DaysOfCode

Current mood:
Day 62 of #100DaysOfCode

No coding but I started a (different) Python course on Udemy and it's already going wayyyyy better
Days 63 - 67 of #100DaysOfCode

I had a goal with 100 Days and although there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'll reach it, all I can really do is just keep chugging along hoping for the best 🚂
Days 67 - 76 of #100DaysOfCode

......yeah I dropped the ball on this one 🤦🏽‍♀️ started it with a very clear goal in mind but just got a bit (a lot) lost along the way.

It's fine though I'll just keep building up my skill set and when I do this again I'll be able to knuckle down
Days 77-82 of #100DaysOfCode

So on the bright side I know a lot more about coding & programming than I did at the start.

Unfortunately I don't know enough (yet!) to properly execute the project I started this account & this thread for. Disappointed in myself but we move
