100daysofCode

The best way to get good at coding is to practice as much as possible. This gives you a framework to do this.

Pros:

It's a great way to get into the rhythm of coding every day and pushing forward with your goals.

Cons:

You're going to have to work it. This is a serious commitment.

Great idea to push me to learn to code (Python)

Pros:

Inspiration

Cons:

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!

Pros:

Motivating, community, habit-building, fun

Cons:

Hi Alex, Congrats on being featured on PH! Is this challenge exclusive for people who have coding experience? What if you're a beginner and newbie? Can it be used for that?

The most beneficial thing 100DaysOfCode challenge helped me to gain was the habit of coding every single day. It is crucial to keep practicing daily in every field we want to learn or improve.

Pros:

Great motivation to keep going on the journey of learning to code. Great community, too.

Cons:

None

I decided to learn to code because I want to transition to a better job. I found #100DaysofCode by accident and thought it sounded like a good way to make myself accountable. Turns out it is a great way to be accountable. But it is so much more!

What I didn’t expect was to that it would connect me with such a supportive, helpful group of people to keep me motivated in my journey.

I was not someone who used twitter but one of the ‘rules’ was to post your progress on Twitter each day to keep,you accountable. I knew enough about twitter to know how to follow #100DaysofCode, and once I did the bot responded to me asking about how I was doing. I didn’t know it was a bot so I responded. 🤭 but then others like my posts and I followed them...and it just grew from there.

Now I try to encourage other new people and keep up with their progress, and i have people I can ask for advice when I get lost or want just some guidance on where to go next.

I might have stuck with this plan to learn coding without #100DaysofCode, but I don’t know for sure. Because of it, I really do believe I will learn to code and be able to make the career change i want to make.

Pros:

Accountability, motivation, great community, free,

Cons:

Haven’t found one yet!

For people with a lot of time constraints, 1 hour a day is hard to set aside. Perhaps 100 concepts in 100 days? Also, no offense as it is a decent pattern, but this seems more of a template that can of course be applied to other endeavors. :)
