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! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode #MomsWhoCode #ParentsWhoCode

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. 🤖 #javascript #100DaysOfCode #100daysofcodechallenge #LearnToCode #WomenWhoCode #womenintech

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. ↪️🔁⤵️ #WomenWhoCode

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. #WomenWhoCode #learntocode #LearnProgramming

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 ⬇️ ). #WomenWhoCode #learntocode #LearnProgramming

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!

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. 📆🕒 #learntocode #WomenWhoCode

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. 5️⃣ ➡️ 6️⃣ #WomenWhoCode #learntocode #100daysofcodechallenge #LearnProgramming

#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. #WomenWhoCode

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. ⭕️ ⬆️ ⬇️ 🎲 🎰 #learntocode #WomenWhoCode #100daysofcodechallenge

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.

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. #WomenWhoCode #LearnProgramming #100daysofcodechallenge

Day 10 of #100DaysOfCode Seeing what you can do with the change case methods in #javascript , and learning about measuring the length of strings and extracting their parts using slice. 🔪 "A Smarter Way to Learn JavaScript", by Mark Meyers, is really nice for my library visits.

Days 8 & 9 of #100DaysOfCode My daughter and I have been coming to the library after school/work, and it's such a nice change in pace for studying & focus! Yesterday I practiced using flag variables ✅❌ and breaks in #javascript and today is exercises using nested for loops.

Day 7 of #100DaysOfCode I'm back. I'm reviewing arrow functions in #javascript and how they have a "lexical this". It's pinning me down to learn about actual "this", which I had been previously avoiding eye contact with. Using this article to supplement: digitalocean.com/community/c…
