Inspired by http://benlevy.com/blog/100-days-coding/.
Concept:
During a 60 day period, work your way through a list of projects in a programming language of your choice. Create at least one GitHub commit per day.
The idea is to get a lot of code exposure in a structured way during a relatively short amount of time and come out of the experience with something to show for it much like all the (paid) programming boot-camps that have been popping up in various countries (mainly USA though).
Use Test-Driven Development and some form of code review (IRC, StackOverflow, StackExchange).
Planning:
Time frame will be 24.03.2014 - 23.05.2014.
A sensible goal might be 3 days per project:
- Day 1: Conceptual design
- Day 2: Most of the coding
- Day 3: Refactorization and Documentation
With one additional day as buffer the outcome should be around 15 projects.
Projects:
- Address Book
- Web Crawler
- Hangman
- Frogger
- IRC-Bot
- Port Scanner
- Mail Client
- Unit Converter
- Calculator
- Blockify (almost entirely rewritten, added GUI).
- File Browser
- Website with Flask
- Blog
- Forum/Guestbook/Journal/Notes
- Drawing Board (FFA)
- Py3: OOP (working through the book)
