- You may reuse code you previously wrote, but try to improve on your prior effort in some way.
- You may ask for help and help others - preference should always be given to helping someone understand, not handing them code they don't.
- If someone is stuck, you may pair with them to help them get unstuck.
- If someone pairs with you to help you get unstuck, be sure to make a note to credit them in your repo and in your blog posts.
- as many projects as you can complete in one month
- For each project, you must write a blog post.
- For each project, you must link to your code in a git repository.
- For each "web based" project, you must link to a running demo that's accessible on the web. (Not necessary for projects without a web component, such as pull requests, algorithms, or mobile or desktop apps.)
- You may combine multiple projects into one git repository.
How many projects can you complete in one month?
Note: This is the type of competition where, yes, winning is awesome, but participating and giving it your all is the best prize, and everyone can get that :D
- Regardless which speedrun you pick, you're going to want to know how to create a git repository, and save your code to it - you can use Github, Gitlab or Bitbucket, they all work the same. Get git setup on your PC before you start the speedrun.
- You will want an editor that you are familiar with setup on your PC. If you already have that, good. If you don't, I recommend Visual Studio Code.
- If you're doing a FCC or Frontend Speedrun and need some HTML/CSS practice, I'd recommend Shay Howe.
- If you're doing an Angular, React or Vue Speedrun, I recommend looking at their official docs and following the beginner guides, build the demo app.
- If you're doing a Game Development Speedrun, I recommend installing and configuring your engine of choice, working through their intro guide, and becoming familiar with their docs.
- If you're doing an Algorithms Speedrun, I recommend doing a quick readthrough of the docs for whatever language you'll be using, and a skim through Open Data Structures.
Extra resources for if you really need to prepare, or if you're doing the CSS challenge which involves a lot of pure CSS animations (which you might not have encountered before.)
