100daysofCode

Even with a full time job, commiting to 1 hour of code per day is not unrealistic. I achieved so much during my 100 days: finished 3 certificates, built tons of projects, met new people, and overall had a great time.

Pros:

Great way to track your progress, make great connections with awesome new people

Cons:

None

The community on Twitter is pretty big. I accidentally used the hashtag when I tweeted about coding in 100 consecutive days. I got hooked and now on 254th day of coding. https://github.com/josephmaxim

The 100DaysOfCode provided me with everything I needed to become a developper:

- a wonderful community ready to help when I needed it, sharing news about the best tutos out there,

- realistic learning goals, including projects,

- discipline,

- inspiration to grow and keep learning,

- lots of tech related-news to expand my knowledge of the field,

- friends with the same goals and aspirations.

I see the challenge as an immersive experience, or an ecosystem designed to help you learn in multiple ways.

It had huge positive results for me. Thanks to all the work I had put in the challenge, I earned a scholarship for a nanodegree and for a webdev school. And it was a nice addition to my CV, I've had tons of recruiters contact me. As a result, I was able to choose a job at the company I wanted to join. Huge thanks to the creator of the challenge!

Pros:

the supporting community, the motivation

Cons:

can't think of any

I will indeed join this challenge today! Upvote!

It was this year I started using twitter more activel and quickly found about #100daysofcode. Had immediatey motivated to participate too. Because I was at my last semester at college and looking for jobs (got one in the middle of the process!) I wasnt able to keep participating (also moved to another city to start my new - and cirst - job in tech. Sadly had to give this pause but for sure going to tey again in a near future! Had an awesome experience, people are so kind and could share information and motivation on it.

Pros:

Great people sharing knowledge and motivation

Cons:

None.

Agree with @ipranav Would have been useful for non-coders to take up this challenge if there were some learning pathways with links to curated resources. Plus something that tells the learner what has been achieved at the end of the challenge.

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!

Pros:

Fun, great community, not only do you learn to code, but also valuable life skills

Cons:

Can be hard, but failing is ok, just try again! The community will support you
