In this blog post I will be covering the following topics :
- What all I learned?
- What all I gained?
- What will I be doing in Round 2 ?
- Special Announcement
What all I learned ?
I started the challenge with basic HTML, CSS & intermediate Python knowledge. My portfolio a blank slate. During the challenge I learnt HTML , CSS & Javascript , built many projects alongside it. It didn't take me much time to grasp basics of Javascript so I could skip to the important stuff.
I struggled in the algorithmic part, I feel that struggle improved my problem-solving skills a ton. I love fetching APIs and playing around with data. I started learning node for server-side && Svelte & Sapper too.
The challenge helped me in making a habit to code consistently
What all I gained?
- I created a mini-community on Twitter & Discord.
- I made many new mentors.
- I made many friends that I can ping anytime.
- I understood the importance of being consistent
- I understood burnouts are real and taking breaks is important
What will I be doing in Round 2 ?
I will :
- focus on designing skills
- work on Svelte related projects
- more contribute to Open Source
Projects in mind :
- Going through devchallenges.io
- Working on Madad [discord bot] even more
- Working on a Map project
- Also posting more blog posts
