Learned about trie tree data structure and created a little auto-complete site to search for UK cities. It is not a complete list, only holds 2k entries. It was great practice for recursion too. Screenshot and link to site. webshuriken.github.io/trie-a… #webdev #sass

Day 9 CS50W wiki project complete and submitted. Here is a little image of how it looks now. I really liked creating the Markdown to HTML module. It was a nice challenge and happy that its complete. I will add more features in the future. #100DaysOfCode #django #CS50W

Day 7-8 The logic for the wiki project 🥁 is now complete! The final step is to improve the UI and submit 😋 Now you can: - Add entries - Edit entries - List all entries - Search for entries Link to demo video youtu.be/QIk4fI7AzDs #100DaysOfCode #django

Day 6. Continuation of Django wiki project. Now the app can: - Edit already created entries - Load random entries I tried loading the video demo but twitter is not loading it.. 😓 Next and final functionality is a search bar. The make-over to follow. #100DaysOfCode #django

After my last post Feb got a bit arsy so couldn't code a bit but March is looking up and here the continuation of 100 days of code.. with an arsy month in betwee.

D5. Django wiki project. Users can now create new entries. Today I delved in Djangos documentation for forms and yes yes. It does make the form creation process a lot easier. Used it to write up a custom method to clean field data. 🥳 #100DaysOfCode #Django #Python

D4. Came across an error with my wiki app. The mk2html program was not handling newline, carriage returns properly (sorted). The app now creates links for the files so they are displayed and presents the user with an error page if the entry does not exist. #100DaysOfCode

D3. Carried on with the wireframes for the commission job, so far so good. Also worked on the Wiki project. Here is a little bare bones preview, because I want to share the whole journey not just the pretty parts. #100daysofcodechallenge #Django

D2. Managed to intergrate the Markdown to HTML program with the Django project. Its going nicely. Pictures to follow up with before and after. 🥳 #100daysofcodechallenge #Python #Django

Got contacted by a previous client to develop another website for them. Already started working on the look, will share the design images once I finish them, really exited about this. #webdev

More job applications on their way.. I will tackle codewars kata, and implement the Markdown to HTML little program I wrote in Python for the Django project. At the moment it can handle: - Headers - Unordered lists - Paragraphs, - Links and bold text. github.com/webshuriken/markd…

D1. Starting with Django and Python. What a framework. Being able to create apps within a project, templating, models, comes with sqlite 🫡, managing URLs and static assets. Loving it. #Django #100daysofcodechallenge #Python

While I continue applying for jobs I will start another 100days of code. I must stay accountable for personal improvement. This time focused on frameworks and backend tech. Now let's have some fun.

To continue the dev journey in 2023 I will start with this fantastic event by London.js hosted by #birdie. Greats talks on building light weight apps with svelte, micro frontends, create inclusive design and web components. Thank you all. #birdie #londonjs #javascript

Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas learn.mongodb.com/courses/ge…

Had a great time last night at the coding dojo at #rightmove. Teamed up with @fkit00, @skandog_, and j Flash to create the frontend for a game called Consequences. Learned about WebSockets. Thank you #lscc for the drinks, and pizzas, and for setting this up. #webdevelopment

Had a great time at the MongoDB.local event in London. Great talks and the atmosphere was fantastic. Also spent time with fellow bootcampers 🥳. Mongo has some great features that I can not wait to explore. #MongoDB #techevent #backenddeveloper
