Forgot to update you with my #100DaysOfCode progress yesterday, but for #Day7, I started to get to grips with the basics and theory of #JavaFX. I learnt about the Main and Controller classes, the FXML document, and the structure and lifecycle of a #JavaFX app.

Took some time out for a lovely and relaxing trip to #York this weekend. My highlight of the weekend was visiting the @RailwayMuseum, an incredible experience that I would recommend to all!

Missed a few days of #100DaysOfCode but it's always good to take some time off to rest. Today classes have started back up at #university, I am a bit worried about keeping up with #100DaysOfCode alongside my other commitments but I am determined to try my best!

As for today, #Day6 of my #100DaysOfCode, I was able to combine the two: I installed and started to learn about #JavaFX. We are starting a module on Full-Stack Application Development, and I am excited to start getting to grips with #GUI development in #Java!

For #Day5 of my #100DaysOfCode, I continued with learning some #Bash #Scripting, making a countdown timer, and a bingo number game!

This weekend I will be away and won't have time for #100DaysOfCode, but I will be back on Monday! Happy weekend 😊

#100DaysOfCode #Day4 today! Continuing with @freeCodeCamp's #RelationalDatabase course, I have started the module on #Bash #Scripting. I've not had much time today, only around 30 minutes, so I will continue tomorrow!

A few weeks ago I coded a really basic #Python program to calculate that calculates the percentage listened to of an audiobook, from user input of the length listened and the total length, when I couldn't see how to find this in the @audibleuk app. #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

It looks terrible but it does what it was designed to do, and has some error handling functionality! I'd love to develop this further another day but for now, I wanted to share it! And if anyone knows any resources to learn more about #web app #development, please #share!

For #Day3 of my #100DaysOfCode, I continued with creating my celestial bodies relational database with #PostgreSQL, following @freeCodeCamp's Relational Database course. I spent time today entering records into my database.

I found this to be a pretty slow and repetitive task, and not particularly enjoyable. But, with a couple more days of work, I am sure I will be able to complete the project and move on to learn something new!

One thing I learnt today was how to include apostrophes (') within a string in #PostgreSQL, which use single quotes also. To do this, you can use two single quotes ('') in place of the apostrophe, and it will show as one!

Missed #100DaysOfCode yesterday as I wasn't feeling too well, but I am back today for some more #PostgreSQL on #Day3! Time to add some data to my celestial database!

For #Day2 of my #100DaysOfCode, I started to create a relational database on celestial bodies using #PostgreSQL.

Creating something without the structure of a tutorial is definitely tricky, especially as I only started using #PostgreSQL yesterday, but I have created some tables and columns, defined primary and foreign keys, and am ready to start adding some data tomorrow!

For #Day1 of my #100DaysOfCode, I learnt about #RelationalDatabases using #PostgreSQL for the second tutorial in @freeCodeCamp's Relational Database Cert.

Had some troubles along the way, including making a syntax error that broke the tutorial somehow 😳, but I managed to create a functioning relational database for some #Mario characters!

I think I learnt a lot today, and I am excited to dive into more relational databases tomorrow! If anyone has any tips or resources for learning #PostgreSQL or #RelationalDatabases, please share them in the comments! #100DaysOfCode
