100 Days of Code is a challenge/community, where you publicly commit to code for 1 hour for the next 100 days (it is however more flexible than that). You also become a part of a large friendly dev community.
Two Main Rules:
- Code minimum an hour every day for the next 100 days.
- Tweet your progress every day with the #100DaysOfCode hashtag.
The concept is good especially for those wanting to switch careers or trying to learn to code, but for those who already have tight schedules it seems very unrealistic. But for those who managed to do so good job!
I started #100DaysOfCode when I was at a point that I felt stuck in my career. I always wanted to grow my skillset and build things that interested me but I had been stuck doing freelance busywork for too long and got bored.
I needed to make it into a habit, so once I heard about #100DaysOfCode, I was hooked, because it's a very clearly defined way to progress (1 hour of coding a day) with a big community behind it already. I'm very much an intermediate when it comes to code so I didn't want to join a community like @freeCodeCamp which is geared towards beginners. #100Days is great because it doesn't matter where you're at in your proficiency, just post something you learned every day and thousands of other people follow along with you.
I just passed 40 days on Twitter and have already met and networked with lots of great people doing the same.
I've also begun several projects that I'm passionate about and excited to work on every day now, and feel like I'm making real progress in growing my career and learning new technologies now.
Highly recommended if you have any interest in learning to code better.
This challenge is one of the best things happening in the developer community! I can't stress this enough - if you want to level up, or learn to code, it needs to be a habit.
The community around this movement is inspiring! If you are motivated, you can complete the challenge. I give credit to 100DaysOfCode for helping me get a job as a developer. Definitely recommend!
I got my first dev job towards the end of my first round. I look forward to starting the next one 😊 While it might be hard to do this challenge while in full time job, I think it’s important to point out that you need to and should set yourself up for success. Change up the criterias/rules of the challenge to fit your lifestyle and work. It’s ok not to do it the way everyone else does it, because we’re all different 😊 In my opinion I t’s simply about making a positive change in your life and how you do it is up to you!
The best way to get good at coding is to practice as much as possible. This gives you a framework to do this.
