#100DaysOfCode - Day: 0
Setting out my goals and platforms
Day 0: May 10th, 2020
I decided to commit to the #100DaysOfCode challenge to improve myself and get ready for the “real world” once I finish my PhD and look for my first career position!
Initial Goals: I already can code in some capacity in Python, R, Matlab and C++ but not as strongly as I would like. I have undertaken a BSc Physics, MSc Data Science and am currently undergoing a PhD where I have learned scientific programming to the point where I can implement mathematical models, produce data analysis and visualisations and basic machine learning. I have little to no experience in html, css or js other than some brief skills I learned developing a personal website.
My goals therefore are:
- To improve my scientific programming skills by exploring new methods and problem solving
- To learn basic html/css/js skills through web development
I will host or link everything I do on my github https://github.com/MaxxHolmes, twitter @MaxxSci, and on this website I built over the last few days!
For my first week - I will be solving Project Euler problems to improve my python skills, while I develop this website to be able to host the solutions to those problems, as well as finishing the Projects/Publications/Contact Me pages. I will be using HTML, CSS and JS to do this, and the Jekyll framework to automate the blog settings.
