1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?

The topic choice for my Learn in Public challenge is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

2. Why did you pick this focus?

I am passionate about accessibility and want to deepen my knowledge. I also want to be knowledgeable of best practices and advise others.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?

This will help people understand the WCAG 2.1 document and make informed decisions when creating applications.

4. Share the the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling.

The title will be Learning Web Accessibility. I will share my posts on my dev.to blog and my twitter handle.

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?
I'm going to rebuild my personal blog/website in Eleventy!

2. Why did you pick this focus?
I started learning Eleventy in my 100 Days of Learning challenge over on DEV, and this is my third attempt at learning static site generators. I've got a better command of HTML/CSS/JS, git, markdown, and Netlify under my belt, so I figured now is the time to officially learn Eleventy and actually build something.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
I'm sure there are plenty of other newbies who want to build a personal blog / get up and running with a website but don't want to use Wordpress or a similar platform. At least for me, I wanted to build a functioning site from the bottom up, quickly, but I don't have a lot of experience with CSS and making a site look good. I'll admit a lot of this is motivated by my own impatience, but if the end result is a functioning site that looks good, and is easy to add posts to, then that's a win! And I'm sure there are others out there who might resonate with that.

"Building a Personal Blog with Eleventy"

I might add something witty like 'for impatient people' or 'for complete dev newbies' but this is the working title for now. I'm excited to get started!

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge? I have decided to take the javascript-30 series by wes bos in which we have to complete 30 different javascript projects in 30 days. I have already completed 7 projects from it and have to complete 23 more.
2. Why did you pick this focus? I have chosen this because I want to build up my fundamentals in DOM manipulation using javascript, so i can learn react or node on top of it.
3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others? Although the wes bos already explain the logic behind all the projects in javascript-30 series using videos, I want to simplify it more and also add my own twist to it like trying different possible solutions or adding another feature to it. This will make other developers think in more ways to solve a problem and to broaden their perspective.
4. Share the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling. The title is ‘JavaScript-30 series with a different perspective’. The entries are based on different projects I do per week.

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?
   I have decided to learn DevOps and Cyber Security concepts. In DevOps I have decided to follow a youtube series and in cyber security I am gonna start with Hacking: the art of exploitation book.

2. Why did you pick this focus?
   Last year I was working on web dev but I end up not enjoying it so I left that. But this year I am gonna start tech that I realy like and I will make sure that unlike web dev I will reach a certain position before switching to somethin else.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
   I want to learn in public because I am sure that will keep me motivated enough to keep going and also I will see other people learn with me. And nothing is better that to learn grow with others.

I was thinking to share my jouney on my twitter handle and on github

1. What concept/project have you decided to take on for the challenge?
I admit I struggled with this one. Initially I had no idea what I wanted to do. Then in the middle of this mission I had too many ideas and was constantly changing ideas. After giving it a lot of thought (and a couple of breaks later), my concept is a project series where I'll be building a quiz app with Ruby. My idea is to create a quiz app where users can answer quiz questions on Disney Princesses. The quiz app will calculate the score and shows users the result. Once the result is displayed, users can have the option to retake the quiz or exit the app.

2. Why did you pick it for yourself?
A lot of this really comes from what I'm learning right now. I'm learning Ruby on Rails right now so I've been reviewing lots of Ruby as I learn Rails. Although I have experience working with Ruby, I feel really rusty with Ruby so that's why I'm reviewing it. I feel like building a Ruby app like a quiz is a great way to help me keep reviewing and apply Ruby concepts.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
My priority has always been sharing what I know and experience with others. The Original BritishPandaChick actually started with this principle by just sharing what I know and experienced in weekly posts. This is something I continued doing with My Coding Journey and later on BritishPandaChick Codes. Now that I’m starting a YouTube channel, that priority has evolved to be more positive and empowering. I am always thinking of my younger self as I code so I want to make something that my younger self would be able to watch and get a feeling that they could do it too.

With this quiz app, I hope it will help others get a sense of how developers think and problem solve when something arises. While developers don't post videos of them spending hours debugging code and running tests to fix an error, I want this series to stop and take a minute to summarize the steps I took fix the error, what I've tried, what didn't work, etc.

4.Share your series title as well as entries you anticipate creating and tackling.
This is my working version of what I've got so far. I tried thinking about as the basics I needed to make this app. As I work more on the project, I might add more to the app.

Series Title: Build a quiz app with Ruby (featuring the Disney Princesses)

Entry 1: Getting started and setup
Part 1: Introduction to the project, setting up directory and files, Getting the quiz questions working

Entry 2: Calculating the score
Part 2: Calculating the score and displaying results

Entry 3: Retake the quiz
Part 3: Create functionality that allows user to retake quiz or exit the app

Had a crazy weeks these 2 weeks, so I'm sooo behind.
But I'm trying to catch up.

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?

I'm torn between React and accessibility.
But I think I will do React by creating a project and share some of the basic concepts as I go. At the end, I will share the project itself.

2. Why did you pick this focus?

I have some experiences with React, but I never really learn it properly. So my knowledge is kind of scattered here and there, and this time around I want to learn React properly from basics.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?

I learned a lot from other people's learning journey. So I think sharing my journey in public would help others as well in some way 😊

4. Share the the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling.

I will continue the series that I created long time ago 😁 — React JS Log Blog

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?

I decided to take on the challenge of creating dashboards.

2. Why did you pick this focus?

I had studied data science, to no avail. The hurdle for professional employment in data science is very high: a Masters or Phd. is required. When I search for less technical data jobs, like a data analyst, I read of responsibilities I know nothing about, like dashboard creation. This is my weakest link I want to improve, in the hopes I can find employment.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?

Sharing my learning journey might facilitate others creating a dashboard purely for themselves. Not just businesses, dash-boarding can be useful to individuals.
We create personal data all the time. Making a dashboard of our own personal data could give us insight into our lives.

4. Share the the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling.

The title of my series is called: Dashboarding For Fun.
The first post of the series will be "The Art of Dashboarding".
The second post will be "Sourcing Data for a Personal Dashboard".
The third post will be "Deploying a Dashboard Live"

1. At first I wanted to cover Data Science/Machine Learning, but after realizing this was far too broad of a topic to cover in three installments, I picked Linear Regressions as a more specific focus.

2. I picked this topic for a few reasons, the main one being that we covered Linear Regressions in the grad program I am a part of. After taking a break from the program, my skills and knowledge got a bit rusty, so I want to review this topic before resuming my coursework.

3. I think Data Science and Machine Learning is an interesting topic to a lot of people, and I want to effectively communicate how to perform and interpret a commonly used model without getting bogged down in the underlying math.

4. Series Title: How to Perform and Interpret Linear Regressions
   Entry 1: What Type of Data is Suitable for Linear Regressions?
   Entry 2: How to Perform Linear Regressions Using Python and sci-kit learn.
   Entry 3: How to Interpret Results Generated by Linear Regressions.

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?
   One thing that was quickly mentioned in bootcamp while I was learning was Testing. I know just enough to understand what it is and why it’s useful, but not enough to actually write my own tests. I think I would want to start with an overview of Test Driven Development and then move on to building a simple app while incorporating Tests as the app is built and finally add tests to an existing application. I think this last option would resonate the most with others, because I have lots of apps but maybe only 1 has tests and I have a feeling that others are the same way.

2. Why did you pick this focus?
   My current company has tons of files for tests and when I add a feature I feel lost on how to add tests that would be useful. I need to get better at this.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
   I don't often see many tutorials especially for people beginning their journey on how to write tests. I don't even see a mention of it most of the time. However being in the work world I see how it can bring value to people learning to know that it can be useful to write tests.

Hello, Hello 👋 Sorry, I'm late to the party! Speaking of being late, I chose a topic that should help me be more productive next time. 😉

1. What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?
   I have decided to take on creating a series on productivity methods for developers for the “Learn in Public” challenge.

2. Why did you pick this focus?
   I picked my focus on productivity because I need to learn some better ways to tackle work and studies (as a developer and in life). The biggest obstacle in my workload as a developer is that I cannot follow through with anything I try to do (whether its working on a project, learning a language, writing consistently or even completing this challenge). I’m done with half-finishing things so I want to explore and learn some methods to help me finish what I set out to do.

3. Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
   I think my journey will help others because it’s a broad topic that I can see many people, including some of the inexperienced audience on this platform, need for all sorts of things one does as a developer. Productivity can help research, projects, technical writing and even mental health.

4. Share the the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling.
   The series title will be “Productivity for Developers”. I plan to have entries such as

   • “P1: The Start Line (Best Methods)”
   • “P2: The Marathon (Doing the Work)”
   • “P3: The Finish Line? (Onwards and Upwards)”.

   I also plan to have a “bonus” part with some different types of useful resources to further learn from.
