For my day 3 objective, I completed the sections on managing requests through PostMan following the complete guide to PostMan course on Udemy. 95% of the topics covered were things I already knew but served as a good refresher.
Picked up a couple of things:
- XHR - XML HTTP requests, I am gonna use it now when I inspect the network tab in chrome dev tools.
- Importing requests from browser into PostMan, so cool. Never did this earlier.
Completed day 10 of the 100 days of learning python on udemy.
Completed Day 9 lesson of the 100 days of code for Python course in Udemy.
I failed to keep up with the 100 days of code challenge that I started in the Thanksgiving break. Got a decent start and was motivated but once work started back up, I had no chance to complete the daily assignments.
Factors that led to the failure to keep up:
First day of work after time off and it was brutal. Did not get a chance to push commits to git but completed day 8 of the python bootcamp course. Enjoyed working on the Caesar Cipher assignment.
I kept the git commits going with more bug fixes
Worked through the Hangman examples of Day 7 of The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022 course on Udemy. The range is an all powerful and mighty function that I often underuse.
Reached Day 7 of The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022 course on Udemy and completed the coding exercises. It was an interesting refresher of lists and conditional flow logic. Set a goal to reach Day 15 section of the course in the next 3 days. I guess, the fun part will start then.
Took a couple of days off from code commits on git, so used this opportunity to tackle a bug in the backlog that the dev team is unable to address for a couple of weeks.
Continued my progress in The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022 course on Udemy by completing the day 4 objectives.
Been coding in Python for a couple of years and never realized that I could use negative indexes in lists. So going to use them now.
Kept my commitment to commit every day by completing the data migration story I started yesterday from my teams infrastructure backlog.
Continued the course work and completed Day 2 objectives.
Took on a story from the work backlog, a simple migration script. Racked up commits in GitHub on my profile.
It is time to code !!!
I decided to sign up for the 100 days of code challenge. I have not been able to be hands-on in development since the beginning of the year, and the code I write is usually bits and pieces, here and there, to cover an epic or take care of infrastructure. I took my Wife's advice and decided to spend an hour a day doing something I love.
To ensure that I do not sneak into writing code for work, I registered for the 100 Days of Code: The complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022. I need a disciplined approach to stick to the plan, or I will work on work-related stuff in my hour.
Wish me luck!!!
