Just hopping on to share my daughter’s interpretation of me learning to code, from a year ago already! Pretty funny and spot on (see: eyebrows), and glad she drew me smiling!

Alright, I've had a full 4-5 months of only being able to study or code on Saturdays. The change in seasons should bring me in from playgrounds and the garden and back to my goals. Imposter syndrome-overcoming activation energy threshhold is high, but so it goes. 📈#WomenWhoCode

For the record: I am still studying regularly! I've just drfited from here a bit . . . I'll plan to post again when I've completed a book or when I have a cool project to share. 🤖

Days 19 & 20 of #100DaysOfCode

Ch. 35-38 of A Smarter Way to Learn Javascript: simple reviews of creating functions, passing them args, returning data to calls, and global versus local variables. I am feeling grateful that this content feels too easy now. ↪️🔁⤵️

@JeanTabares3 Thank you! Good luck and find your own personal, sustainable study rhythm!

Day 19 of #100DaysOfCode

Learned how to modify elements of a date object in #javascript using keywords like setFullYear, setMonth, setHours, setMinutes, etc. Good practice for remembering to include 0⃣ at the beginning of arrays.

Day 18 of #100DaysOfCode

Saw how to make a #javascript countdown ⏲️ for a specific date by 1) calculating the difference in milliseconds from 1/1/1970 to present vs the target date & 2) converting the msecs to days (rounding ⬇️ ).

Day 18 of #100DaysOfCode

Afternoon library study time was thwarted by a doc appt for my kiddo, but I got to attend #Minnedemo tonight @TurfClubMN ! Was dazzled and inspired by the ideas and ambitions of others, especially @arteaterx ! Can't wait for the next @minnestar event!

[Angela Stoddard @Botany_to_Code]

@CassandraDanger @arteaterx Lucky! Def keep that! Such a fun presentation.

[Angela Stoddard @Botany_to_Code]

Day 17 of #100DaysOfCode

The Date object in #javascript and how to extract and make use of pieces of it: new Date(), getDay(), getMonth(), etc. For many of these, you receive a #, and you need a matching [ ] if you are hoping for named values. 📆🕒

Day 16 of #100DaysOfCode

`Number`, `toString`, and `toFixed` in #javascript. Read that `toFixed` doesn't always round up a decimal ending in 5 reliably, and saw some solutions to account for that.

@redaelbizri You too, thank you!

[Angela Stoddard @Botany_to_Code]

Day 14 of #100DaysOfCode (yesterday)

#javaScript math methods: round, ceil, floor.
Also learned how `random` actually generates a pseudo-random, 16-decimal number which can be manipulated to suit your needs.

#100DaysOfCode Day 15

Learning how and when #javascript automatically converts strings to numbers, and numbers to strings. Saw how to use `parseInt` to prevent concatenating a string and a number (when trying to add) and `parseFloat` to preserve decimal places.

Day 13 of #100DaysOfCode

Learning the `replace` method in #javascript, including how to ask for a global replace using 🪄 `/ ... /g`. I've been working at a school weekdays, & I can definitely observe my brain feeling weary after a Monday back. 🥴Glad for these small lessons.

[Angela Stoddard @Botany_to_Code]

@msdevUK Thank you Jack!

Day 12 of #100DaysOfCode

Getting settled in this dreamy space. 🛋 Maybe I'll circle back to some #javascript exercises that had stumped me last week.

Day 12 of #100DaysOfCode

Practicing finding segments within strings using indexOf and lastIndexOf in #javascript . 🪡🔍 Still SO happy to have rediscovered the library for studying. 🖥️🎧Hoping for some deeper weekend work later. Happy Saturday!
