My first manager at Uber started a GitHub page back at the time with resources to become a more proficient developer - ones he personally found helpful (he did not have a CS degree). I realized he is *still* updating it, 7 years later! A neat list: github.com/charlax/profes…

Day 12 of #100DaysOfCode Learned git commands. Most common ones I've learnt: ✅ git init ✅ git status ✅ git add ✅ git commit ✅ git push ✅ git pull ✅ git clone ✅ git branch ✅ git merge ✅ git checkout

Day 13 of #100DaysOfCode Learned Git workflows and the difference between cloning & forking a repository. Thought they were the same at first 😅

Day 14 of #100DaysOfCode Learned about React components, the virtual DOM and how to use props.

Day 15 of #100DaysOfCode Created my first Todo List with React! I used React Hooks for the first time as well, i.e. useState. On a side note, time sure flies when you're building a project that you're interested in. Didn't mind delaying dinner just to get it done haha.

Day 16 of #100DaysOfCode Learned about nested React components and how to useContext.

Day 17 of #100DaysOfCode 🌗 Made a light/dark toggle theme using HTML, CSS and React! Got more practice managing component states with the useState React Hook, this time with Boolean values

Day 18 of #100DaysOfCode Made an updated Todo app, with the ability to add, update, and delete tasks using React.

Day 19 of #100DaysOfCode Learned about the useRef and useParams React Hooks. Also updated the UI for my todo app.

Day 20 of #100DaysOfCode Implemented a pop-up for my todo app that confirms whether the user wants to delete a task upon clicking the trash button.

Day 21 of #100DaysOfCode Learned how to use Redux for React by creating a basic e-commerce app with an Add to Cart functionality. Took me awhile to wrap my head around the concept but got there in the end 😅

Day 22 of #100DaysOfCode Demo of my basic e-commerce app built with React & Redux. Ngl the more I learn React, the more I enjoy using it. Initially, I struggled with it as I was so used to vanilla JS. Glad I didn't give up early on though, I can see why it's so popular now 💻

Day 23 of #100DaysOfCode Refactored my todo app to enable multiple users by using Redux, and persisted my states with redux-persist. Was stuck for awhile though trying to configure the Redux store to persist states. Thankfully ChatGPT helped me on this part 😂

Life Hack: Embrace the embarrassment of being a beginner. The only way to accomplish something meaningful is to endure days, weeks, months, or even years of embarrassing failure. Every expert started out as a beginner. Those who embrace the embarrassment will eventually win.

Day 24 of #100DaysOfCode Successfully created a basic Instagram clone app! Learnt alot through this project and figuring out how to deploy a React app on GitHub 😅 Tech: HTML, CSS, JS, React GitHub: github.com/jadenc955/inst… ➡️Check out the app here: jadenc955.github.io/instagram-clon…

Day 25 of #100DaysOfCode Learnt how to set up an API for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests using Express and PostgreSQL.

Day 26 of #100DaysOfCode Learnt how to link my data in one table to another (e.g. post id to a user id) by using foreign keys in my SQL database.

Day 27 of #100DaysOfCode Currently coding a Twitter clone to practice my React and SQL database skills.

Day 28 of #100DaysOfCode Revising what I've learnt on React, so that I don't forget 😅

Day 29 of #100DaysOfCode Built an AI chatbot today using the OpenAI API, and integrated it into my Twitter clone app. Realized I have to make payments for each request I make to the API, so will probably remove the chatbot feature if I ever deploy my app haha
