#100DaysCodingChallenge
I started this a while back and never followed through.
I will continually update this for myself.
Week 1 (day 1–6):
- set up virtual environment and started using pyenv (manage version of pythons in general) and virutalenv (manage version of python within projects modules) and virtualenv to manage all the versions I would be using for different projects (even if I am not doing many projects in python, I wanted to get the set up over with so I don’t have to deal with it later).
- Did a couple of coding exercises to warm up and honestly improve some algo skills — i suck on hackerrank in terms of speed, so need to improve on that
- Watched videos on algo and implemented insertion method for max binary heap and BFS for trees.
- webscrape workshop, not much coding…more debugging. That was why I started using virtual environments bc my jupyter notebook wasn’t in the right path or something.
- coded just a little bit with Twilio API and NASA api, for funsies. I am able to get a text image from Mars from a randomly selected Mars Rover on a random Sol.
Week 2 (Day 7–14)

Mostly focused on learning Tweepy, a python wrapper for using Twitter API. The endpoint for a search query provided a plethora of data, I need to pick and choose what to save.
I also did a coding challenge on Hackerrank for a job that I most likely won’t make since I never finished. I hate hackerrank style. It definitely feels like an ACT test and you have to decipher what you are solving when you are reading through the confusing story-line to get to the problem.
Daily Standup. I have kind friends. My friend Aly, decided to help me do a daily stand up so I’m on track. That’s not directly coding, but it definitely is related to my coding productivity.
Week 2 (Day 15–21)
Still doing daily stand ups with Aly. Started learning React hooks and it’s much easier and cleaner than using class components. I learned about useEffect, which takes a function and runs it after every render. So, I can fetch data and make sure that the data is correctly rendered after a change has been made. Componentdidmount and componentDidUpdate in one.
Week 3 (Day 22–29)
It’s June. Last week wasn’t too productive. So idk if it should even count. Either way..my notes:
useContext — a little confusing with data flow still. If I have 3 components and I am fetching data from another component where do I use the useProvider. Data flow in React is still a little confusing to me.
