CNC2021 Start Coding - Mission 3
I'm going to focus on Java with 2 resources - 1. Udemy course (In 28 Minutes) and 2. Oracle Press - Java The Complete Reference book. I've started learning last week and continue to maintain the streak with at least half hour daily (including practice in IDE). Been using 'HabitShare' app to keep a track on my activity.
Hello, I am going to focus on Python with many resources. But the main one is google for education / python. here is the link if anyone is interested. developers.google.com/edu/python/s...
I'm going to focus my learning on frontend development. More specifically, I'm going to start by learning HTML & CSS. My top five resources are:
Of these, I'm going to start with Modern HTML & CSS from the Beginning by Brad Traversy on Udemy.
I picked this course because it is very affordable if you can get it on sale. It covers a wide range of topics, including HTML and CSS basics, responsive design, Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Sass. The course is very hands-on with learning section and several code-along projects, and contains a lot of very helpful tips like keyboard shortcuts for Visual Studio Code.
I'm going to track my learning by reviving my learning tracker on GitHub.
Happy coding!
Really nice work! You're on a great track here :)
I chose JS. My top 5 resources for learning this are:
CS50 Harvard @ Edx
Free code camp
Skillcrush
W3Schools
YouTube.
I’m going to track my learning each week with: Google Docs and a Habits tracker mobile app.
Does anybody want/need an accountability buddy? Let's connect!
Hello there, I am going to start learning Ruby with 49 Days of Ruby: by Ben Greenberg and also launchschool.com book about ruby. Thanks Ben for posting ruby lessons.
I'm going to learn flutter with
I picked this course because it starts from learning dart the language itself and then the flutter framework.
Focusing on front end development. Will be following "the Odin Project" curriculum. I like the way the curriculum is structured, it takes out the guess work of choosing what topic to study next.
Thank you for pointing out a great resource. I will also start with this along with MDN and W3C.
Great resource. I added it to my list. Thank you!!
I will focus on learning Vue. I've already done some FreeCodeCamp tutorials and I'm going to start a personal project to solidify my learning. I realized that this "learn by doing" approach keeps me more interested.
my goal is to start brushing up my javascript using problems on codewars and go through the react course at fullstackopen.com/en/
i also want to start reading about programming languages from tomassetti.me/resources-create-pro...
I have access to Pluralsight and will be completing a few JavaScript tutorials on it this week. I've already completed a beginner one, so I want to concentrate on some of the intermediate ones. After that I found some recourses that focus on creating projects, which is how I learn coding best. I plan on spending at least 1 hour a night. I will be using Trello to track my learning progress.
I'm going to focus mostly on C# and Unity basics through the free course found on learn Unity called Create with code. The site also has other free courses to do, so I probably look into those as well.
I’m going to focus my learning on Full Stack Development.
More specifically, I’m going to start by learning JavaScript & Python and then React, and Django Framework.
My top 5 resources for learning this are:
Of these, I’m going to start with Freecodecamp picked this because it’s free of cost. I love the curriculum of this website. First, learn then build projects to earn the certificate.
I’m going to track my learning each week by my learning tracker
Happy Coding!
Happy Writing!
I'm going to focus on learning Python for now and will use the free Codecademy Python 2 course.
My goal is to finish it in 3-4 weeks, as I have quite a lot of time right now.
If I enjoy it enough I have other courses lined up I researched that I can use to earn a certificate.
I’m going to learn basic frontend skillset (Javascript, and later move on to JS frameworks Vue.js or React).
I researched a bit and freeCodeCamp seems fits to me so I use it as primary resource.
I set 3 steps :
Complete “JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures” / freeCodeCamp, until the end of June.
For practice, build small Javascript projects x 5-10 (not sure yet detail and deadline). Maybe I’ll make pomodoro, or something.
Build my portfolio website (in Summer - Fall). I’m planing to build it with smooth transition by using vue.js, or something similar.
I will track the time by Taskuma app and keep a record everyday in my Evernote.
The plan may change later, but I hope to accomplish them step by step :)
Late to the party, but using Cisco netacad.com for Python learning.
