#100 Days of Code Days 7 & 8

I finished the Django tutorial!! and read the docs.

Does it count as 100 days of code if there was more reading than coding? In MY 100 Days of Code, I say yes. It’s my 100 days to do with as I wish.

I really love Python.

Continuing with the Django tutorial… and discovered Django Girls, too, a UK-based nonprofit.

I hadn’t yet seen SQL in classes, and it’s just so… eloquent. I like it.

class Choice(models.Model):
    question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete = models.CASCADE)
    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
    votes = models.IntegerField(default = 0)
    def __str__(self):
        return self.choice_text

More cats… this time with pictures! I played around a little with responsive design, and a teeny bit of JavaScript.

I present to you [drumroll, please] my cats.

#100DaysofCode Day 1

Happy new year, friends. I spent most of the holiday season working on the wd4e specialization, and finished intro to CSS3, interactivity with JavaScript, and advanced styling with responsive design. My capstone begins in March.

When I first read about 100 Days of Code, I realized I needed this kind of motivation, and I’ve been focusing on developing a code-something-everyday habit… and opted not to blog about it. I want to track my progress more linearly, so I’m going to change that today, and restart the clock to Day 1.

Day 1: Finished drafting contributing.md and editing code of conduct for the Aardwolf project (PR link). I’ve been tracking my job search in using mySQL and a CRUD UI I designed myself, and I spent some time tweaking the UI for that. For privacy reasons, I’ll just share my CSS using a representative table of cats.

This exercise is a reminder that I prefer back-end to front-end work. I am colorblind and the things I find attractive, you might find hideous. My personal style leans in a simpler direction: black, white, shades of gray, which also tend to be much more accessible to a broader audience. But there’s something relaxing about playing with color pallets– kind of like coloring with a fresh box of crayons! So for this exercise, don’t judge– I don’t feel bad about it. 🙂
