SO after months of not coding & having a mid-life crisis, I've decided to go back to coding.. but this time I want to do a better job documenting my journey.. considered using IG & I want to blog.. should I use Wordpress? Or code my own blog, or something else

Although I do feel like I'm learning from following the videos, I decided to recreate my own version of it and change the design to my style (so I also get some long lost practice with HTML and CSS). I also decided to quickly cover SASS today and practice using that

I have been working on the same Forkify project and learning how to use the MVC architecture to properly handle changes made by a user, but have the code organized in such a way where each file has its own purpose but also works together

I have been coding, just not documenting. Might switch to IG to document since I can write more there with a longer caption.. also I'm just not a twitter person ahah

[cindy @codewithcindy]

I worked on the Forkify project from @jonasschmedtman 's course & so far I like this project! Today was about refactoring and thinking about the architecture. I'm all for organized code, but thinking about the architecture seems overwhelming at the same time

Definitely have been struggling with getting myself to code.. been extremely unmotivated and feeling lost but I think I'm slowly getting back into coding on a daily..

d119/ today was a huge struggle to study due to being so sleepy. But went back to studying algorithms and learned about Merge Sort. KIND OF CONFUSING, but I do get how it works... just the recursion part is always hard to wrap my head around 😵

d118/ covered Promise combinators such as Promise.all and Promise.race. Also practiced Async/Await by re-writing the code from the previous challenge that used the then method, so the new function is now asynchronous and uses async/await

d117/ ES2017 Async/Await features that make code LOOK synchronous, but actually is an asynchronous task and runs in the background. It's interesting how some coding features are really only to make the code pretty 😂 but I'm not complaining

d116/ practice with Promisifying! Turning callback-based asynchronous behavior into promise-based functions. This one was about loading an image, hiding it, using setTimeout to halt it, then loading another image and repeat. Kind of confusing, but I think I got it

d115/ Took notes today on Asynchronous JS and how it works behind the scenes. The engine is the heart of JS runtime and tasks are executed in a non-blocking manner because the Event Loop decides the order of callback functions being run.. makes sense

d114/ wow, I actually completed this challenge correctly and with minimal pain.. I guess I actually understand it HAHA practiced using AJAX calls, fetch, then, and the catch method to handle promises

@wahabshaikh_ I 100% feel that. That's me 99% of the time. This is probably the first time I recreated a project from scratch (ofc I referenced the videos here & there), but I'm pretty happy I actually added the features I set out to do even if it took me WAY TOO LONG.. 😂 You can do it too!

[cindy @codewithcindy]

d113/ finally decided today is the LAST day I will work on the map project that I've been stuck on the past month & to finally keep moving and keep learning. What I DID learn today was how to write a ReadME! Found a guideline and just followed that :)

#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbies

[cindy @codewithcindy]

d112/ SO HAPPY I FINALLY figured out how to make the delete function work and have the item delete from the list... but was saddened bc I am now having trouble with figuring out how to delete the matching marker on the map..oh well, I still feel accomplished🙂

#100DaysOfCode

[cindy @codewithcindy]

d110-111/ learning about Promises! They're objects used as placeholders for the future results of asynchronous operations. Promises are useful to help avoid callback hell and for making code easier to read and understand, which is good code!

d108-109/ yday I was working on the Mapty project but today I continued on with Udemy and learned about what Asynchronous JS is, what AJAX calls are, and what an API is.

Here I'm using XMLHttpsRequest to get data from the REST Countries API

@Anthony87794601 so awesome to hear! keep it up 🙂

d105-107/ going crazy bc I can't figure out how to make the new sorted arrays display correctly. The new sorted array ADDS onto the current displayed list even tho I clear the innerHTML before looping over the new array to display.. ugh. i will get it #100DaysOfCode #programming
