Raid Naji

What a ride. Finished up bootcamp last week! Feeling lucky to have done it with some brilliant classmates and instructors. The learning is just beginning. Super proud to have put this together. Be sure to check out my portfolio at raidnaji.com #100DaysOfCode

Not asking dumb questions is an unnecessary risk to the individual as well as to the team.

@theZeinabKah @sidhlee @junocollege Thank you for having us! Always happy to help out and looking forward to doing it again!😊

@alxndrdrgz You worked so hard for this!! Big congrats 🎉

Day 24: NodeLists aren’t arrays but can I still iterate over them? Yes you can. It’s possible to iterate over a NodeList with forEach() even though it’s not an array. You could also convert it to a real array using Array.from() #100DaysOfCode #JavaScript

Day 23: TIL, placing the the “+” operator in front of a string performs the same conversion as Number() (which is also similar to parseInt) #100DaysOfCode #javascript

Huge shoutout to @ChaoyueZ for helping me navigate this new world of software development! Lots of uncertainty ahead but when making making this kind of transition, it helps to have strong guidance from kind people who have done it before

Day 21: Hamburger menus are tough. I spent four hours implementing the smallest change. Weirdly enough, still feel accomplished because I know next time much time will be saved. #100DaysOfCode

Day 20: JavaScript has a lot of weird parts! I started a course called “Understanding the Weird Parts of JS”. bit.ly/3dhfFHO Hopefully ‘this’ 😅 course will help me understand them. (sorry) #100DaysOfCode

Day 19: Spent most of the day tackling JavaScript challenges on @hackerrank and @edabit . Solid review of the .map, .forEach, for in and for of loops #100DaysOfCode

@claudiadorego Not sure if you/mom need any more Polish food in your diet, and would be surprised if you haven’t been but Cafe Polonez is a Roncy staple for a reason. Veg options might be limited but the schnitzel, pierogis and cabbage roll were all fab

The React team’s motivation for functional components with hooks: 1) It’s hard to reuse stateful logic between components 2) Complex components become hard to understand 3) Classes confuse both people and machines

Day 17, 18: Spent a lot time in the last couple days wrapping my head around React Class components. As I speak to more devs, it seems like they are here to stay for a while. Despite the fact the docs seem to recommend functional components whenever possible! #100DaysOfCode

Day 16: React class components, why r u so verbose?🧐 #100DaysOfCode

Day 15: Stepped away from code and took a couple mental health rest days. Lots of fun in the sun and 🏌️‍♂️. Was back at it today in VanillaJS land. Had fun working through JavaScript coding challenges. #100DaysOfCode

Day 14: Felt really challenged today in a JavaScript mock tech test. Time to review my notes and do more exercises on @edabit. Got introduced to @frontendmentor. Will be checking them out for more challenges. #100DaysOfCode

@alxndrdrgz Same. I ended up just booking it for them

Day 13: My job search and accountability partner @evanyuekwan held our first daily stand-up where we discuss what we did the previous day and what we plan on doing today.

Day 10, Day 11: Hamburger buttons are so frustrating. I got it working ok on my portfolio site for now but will scrap it and build it again another day. Thank to my instructors @darshsen and @anaorodrigues for helping me figure this all out! #100DaysOfCode

@LedoJon This is an incredible skill. Cutting your loss, moving on and then restarting is hard.

Day 37, Sometimes the easiest solution to a problem is to completely delete something, rewrite it, and realize your code was unnecessarily complex for no good reason 🙄 #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbies #junocollege
