Week 12 of #100DaysOfCode: Resilience, Growth, and New Skills

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 After a short holiday break, I’m back and stronger than ever on my #100DaysOfCode challenge. Here's a recap of the exciting progress I made during Week 12:

Day 80: Tackling Responsiveness with Media Queries

I eased back into coding by focusing on media queries to make web pages responsive. It’s a tricky skill, especially when you're not fully confident, but I’m learning and improving every day. 🚀

Day 81: Deployed My Responsive Journal Project!

I finished and deployed a simple, responsive journal project built with HTML & CSS. It’s a minimalist design for now, but I plan to add a hamburger menu for small screens next.

Day 82: Built a Hamburger Menu for My Journal

I successfully implemented a responsive hamburger menu for my Learning Responsiveness Journal webpage! 🍔

Inspired by #Scrimba, I kept it clean with HTML, CSS, and a bit of JS. See the improved version live: TopTech Journal.

Day 83: Code Review and Growth Mindset

After the New Year break, I returned to learning and growing as a developer.

• Revised some earlier responsive design code.
• Started Scrimba’s Code Review course, where I learned how to effectively review code and follow best practices.

Day 84: Branching & Pull Requests

Today was all about GitHub mastery! 💻✨

• Learned about branching and pull requests using GitHub Desktop, guided by Scrimba.
• Practiced creating branches and collaborating effectively on projects.

Day 85: Built a Fun Bored Bot Using APIs

I leveled up my JavaScript skills by working with APIs!

• Created a "Bored Bot" 🤖 that fetches random activities to keep boredom away.
• Learned how APIs function and how to use fetch to retrieve data dynamically.

Day 86: Understanding HTTP Requests

I dived deep into the world of HTTP requests today:

• Learned about request methods like GET and POST.
• Explored the structure of requests, including URLs, endpoints, headers, and bodies. Now, APIs feel less like a mystery and more like powerful tools to fuel creativity!

Reflection

This week has been a rollercoaster of learning new skills, tackling challenges, and growing as a developer. From mastering responsiveness and GitHub collaboration to working with APIs, every day brought something new.
