Day 16/#100DaysOfCode During the job searching, found out that some workplaces like a Wagile environment. The term tickled me, but.. potentially a more accurate description of the way many products are made? How many workplaces are *truly* agile? I'd love to know #wagile

Day 15/#100DaysOfCode Found out I've been shortlisted for a group assessment for a new role next week. Great news! Tricky balancing learning, job searching & working but I'm managing to fit it in. Revisited RegEx today as it was starting to fade.

Day 14/#100DaysOfCode Found out I didn't get the job. But I am v grateful the company took the time to phone me with really thorough and encouraging feedback. 114 out of 120 @theSchoolOfCode students applied for this role. Even getting to the interview was a win ๐Ÿ’ช!


Day 13/#100DaysOfCode Decided to revisit vanilla JavaScript to build a little counter for my database fixes. Solved a workplace problem and got my coding practice in at the same time. And now I get a small burst of joy with each fix. Document.queryWhat?! I was very rusty!


Day 12/#100DaysOfCode I am doing some temp work for an educational institution, using a noSQL database to fix errors in records . They asked me to keep track of my fixes (the software has no ability to do this!) Decided to make something fun to do this..


Day 11/#100DaysOfCode Had a great first ever tech interview. Is it weird to say I really enjoyed the process? Great conversations about the team and the role, incl. when do you actually feel like a developer?! The tech test was not my strongest part, I have to say!


Day 10/#100DaysOfCode Skipping a few days here and there as I'm caught in the trap of taking on temp work full-time while I'm looking for my first tech role. Common story! Looking forward to finding the right balance.

So this is what the X is about.

This is the last day for Twitter. A new app will take its place: X - The Everything App. Here's 10 features that are coming for The Everything App (X):



Day 9/#100daysofcode How it ended! Spent a bit more time completing the exercise. Enjoyed getting my head around linked lists and thinking through the spiral of moving parts! Inception vibes.

Day 8/#100daysofcode I didn't have much time today, but started a tech test for an interview this week. How it started!

How about just watching puffin feet for 15s??? #puffin


Day7/#100daysofcode Interview prep aplenty! Taught myself about linked lists - a data structure I have not come across before. Currently playing around with while loops. A little frustrating at first but fun once I got my head around the syntax and where to take in values.

A little frustrating at first but fun once I got my head around the syntax and where to take in  values.

Day 6/#100daysofcode The truth! Spent a few hours on @bobziroll's brilliant @scrimba React course, to really get my head around things. By far the best resource I've come across to push you to write code and get better.

I always tell my students that the easiest way to learn to code is to do it the hard way - actually writing code, struggling with it, and fixing it, over and over and over. No one ever learned to be a capable pianist by watching people play piano on YouTube



Day 5/#100daysofcode Found out that I have an interview next week! Amazing news and much trepidation. Planning out my prep for the take home task and interview (questions + pair programming) has helped me to stay focused! What's your best interview tip, esp for pair programming?


Day 4/#100daysofcode Regular expressions! I've been putting this off for a while but it was time to get to grips with it. Spent 1.5 hours completing the Free Code Camp tutorial on RegEx, then finally got this level seven @codewars challenge out of my hair!

Day 3/#100daysofcode Stretch goals include: ๐Ÿ’ป More data queries - e.g. filter results by question to ID curriculum weak spots ๐Ÿ’ป Additional subjects - for now it will be just bio ๐Ÿ’ป Responsiveness -add tablet and desktop Teacher friends, any advice welcome!


Day 3/#100daysofcode 30 mins Codewars, 30 mins exploring @exercism_io - still working out the format! Discussed stretch goals for my React app for the education sector, with my partner who is an A-Level curriculum lead.


Day 2/#100daysofcode Started planning my full-stack React app personal project. A diagnostic tool for teachers. MVP features: ๐Ÿ’ป Quiz format with 4 options per Q ๐Ÿ’ป Results stored in backend ๐Ÿ’ป Display results for individual / whole class ๐Ÿ’ป Teachers upload questions & pics
