I still find it crazy that I have been programming for 200+ days now. While I haven't made any money, I have learned a lot, going from 0 programming skills to now building my first app. Here are 5 tools that have been essential for my journey so far: buff.ly/4gf3etz

5. buff.ly/40D3rRL JavaScript Mastery's React Native Course This one was huge for me. I already had React fundamentals, so learning React Native with a full app project helped me learn a lot. It was straightforward and introduced me to Expo and app routing

4. buff.ly/40BA81D Net Ninja's Full React Series I didn't watch all the videos either, but specifically 8-17 to learn hooks. Most concepts other than that were quick since it is basically just JavaScript

2C. (Honorable Mention) Web Dev Simplified's Markdown Blog Tutorial buff.ly/3EeGNHK This video was the equivalent of 1 rep maxing my coding experience It was a huge jump in skill from what I was used to, but doing so made all Node.js projects much easier to create.

2B. (Video) freeCodeCamp.org Node.js and Express course video buff.ly/42Bdol5 While I didn't watch the whole video, I gained a lot of valuable insight out of this one! It was very helpful for getting me to gain momentum building backends.

📘Day 197 No "exciting" changes today 😂 I optimized the image querying because my original version took 8 seconds to load posts Before: - Query and attach pfp to each post instance Now: - Takes all unique author ids - Creates object with all unique pfps - Grabs those in html

📘Day 173 (Coding Journal) Absolutely HUGE progress today & yesterday. 2 Changes: - Posts can link to the author - Clicking on posts can open their designated page It's crazy how finding that project in that challenge-skills sweet spot can really get you in a flow state I don't want to stop

📘Day 171 (Coding Journal) I had a spark of inspiration today. I was originally planning for this project to be quick, but I now wish to expand on it What was originally going to be a brief project is going to become a complete forum style site (inspiration from Reddit and X) I'm locked in

📘Day 169 (Daily Coding Journal) Made progress learning how to make an account system. The last few days I've got a home page working with an editable description and option to change your password. I've learned a lot so far, building this!
