Day 1, 27th of November 2023

finished day 24 of Angela Yu's 100 Days of Code: Python Bootcamp course

learned how to read from and write to files using python.

used that knowledge to update the previously made snake game to have the highest score achieved in the game saved and updated if beaten, also used it to automate the process of generating the same letter addressed to different names in text files.

9th of July, 2023 [Day 5]

Watched a part of SQL, Models, and Migrations lecture from CS50’s Web Programming with Python and JavaScript course.

Solved 2 problems on Codeforces

The SQL lecture is kinda fun and easy (so far), I was already familiar with SQL and relational databases from uni but didn't really have a real practice with it, also terms like "migrations" and "models" weren't really new to me since I've been subject to these stuff in the Software Engineering project I worked on in the last semester.

As for problem-solving, I started getting the hang of recursion, still struggling a bit maybe, but I'm better now at visualizing the solutions I write using recursive functions.

4th of July, 2023 [Day 1]

worked on the Encyclopedia project for the Django course today.

I was kinda intimidated by that encyclopedia project, seemed too hard for me, which is normal I just learnt what django is not too long ago. I usually tend to have this problem when I'm new to something and just become scared of doing anything with it, a confidence issue I think. anyways so I just decided to get over this fear and laziness and just CONTINUE THE PROJECT to brag about it to my mentor who I haven't talked to in a while now (I really don't want him to think that I'm not interested or unserious so I need to finish this project asap), and I used the help of solution video to aid me in some parts.

Spent some time wondering what's wrong and why my site isn't working properly and it turns out that in one of the functions I wrote post instead of POST, didn't know the request methods in python were case-sensitive lol I just thought they were like in html.

Also, learnt today that there's a casefold() function in python that disregards the case of a string, ngl I was at awe.

okay, so

i'm going to start the 100 days of studying/coding challenge and my goals for it are:

study new topics for competitive programming and practice

study backend development using django framework

practice and learn more about python

study/revise some of the CS basics because I barely learn anything at uni, for that I'll be studying some of the courses from the OSSU curriculum

I will study and practice backend development/competitive programming/etc. and use this blog as a documentation for my learning progress :D
