#100DaysOfCode Days 68 & 69

Changed gear to air out my brain and made a start on my single-page, no-libraries portfolio. Much cleaner in code and aesthetic than previous versions. 🫧🧹
Nice to be back swearing at #CSS rather than #JS for a change! 😂

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

#100DaysOfCode Day 67

was frustrating.

✅ managed to fix bug in the colour picker #js (found in the shuffle function 🥸) which was populating the div headers with all sorts of nonsense
🫠 but it is now only producing two colours

Will go for fresh eyes in a few days! 👀🍃✨

#100DaysOfCode Days 65 & 66

Spent these on #executeprogram code reviews - such a helpful tool/ reminder to ensure it’s all ACTUALLY going in 🤓👷‍♀️

✅ then looked back over #JS slice with negative arguments, concat, new and fill and flat/flatMap

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

@i_prernasingh Thanks Prerna! It was a revisit though, so can’t take too much credit! 🫣😅

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

#100DaysOfCode Days 61 & 62

Going back over #JS array using Execute Program. covered:

✅stack
✅forEach
✅map
✅slice

and a whole load of quizzes 🧩💪

#100DaysOfCode Day 64

More colour palette picker:

✅added ability to change individual colours for other random colours
✅started work on making colours complementary - had some pretty ugly combos 👹
✅ bug 1 fixed (only gave 2 colours)
🫠but now CSS broken 😂 - for tomorrow!

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

@csturner88 Hi Adam, how lovely to meet you! Thanks so much! Yep, all random at the moment - today’s job was making them complementary and individually changeable - about 80% successful I’d say - only broke it a little bit! 😂

🟩🟧🟨🟪

Started work on a colour palette picker!

Is she pretty yet? NO.
Does she have basic functionality? Hell yes!

Additions and beautification to come, but a pretty good start! 💅✨

@shrishti_115 DO IT. Nurture your inner child with code!!! 💛💛💛

#100DaysOfCode Day 60

✅ started learning about Markdown and best practices. Now meticulously updating all my Github repos so all ReadMe's are shiny and new and crucially, clear.

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

@AritDeveloper Louder for the people at the back! 📣✨

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

@elliezub Yes 👏 Ellie 👏 you've got this! The job applications are so much, oh my. Also, let me know how React comes along - React and I have taken an extended break from one another 🫣 but feel like I should get back on it!

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

@theilhanjama I LOVE to ask. Also when someone asks where something is from, I always feel so fancy 💁‍♀️, so you might just be making someone's day!

#100DaysOfCode Day 59

✅ got to grips with my #terminal !! It's a whole new world, truly 😂 figured out how to add, adapt, move and delete files as well as a few sneaky little time-saving shortcuts ⏩

[Phoebe Hames @phoebe_hames]

#100DaysOfCode Day 58

✅ cracking through some leetcode problems and came across unicode for the first time. The function changed a character from lower to upper case and vice versa and I was mindblown/slightly furious to find a way round an accidental caps lock 😅
