Day 44: I Have an Excuse to Learn LESS

I started working on a coding challenge that is to build a UI based on a weather app. It recommends using LESS. I decided to use this as an excuse to finally learn more about LESS. I already know SASS and so far it seems pretty similar. The only difference seems to be some of the syntax choices so far.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

  • CSS -> Watched some tutorial videos on using LESS. I also started looking at the docs to see how I can incorporate it with React.
  • Vim -> Played around with the local directory settings. It is useful. I think I might switch to the automatic change and see how that goes for a while. Article on setting the working directory per window in Vim


Goal For Round 7 of the #100DaysofCode Challenge

This is my seventh round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five and round six into round seven. I am currently working through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. My goal is to become more familiar with algorithms and data structures. This goal was derived from my goal to better understand operating systems and key programs that I use in the terminal regularly e.g. Git. This goal was in turn derived from my desire to better understand the fundamental tools used for coding outside of popular GUIs. This in turn was derived from my desire to be a better back-end developer.

I have no idea if my path is correct but I am walking down this road anyways. Worst case scenario I learn a whole bunch of stuff that will help me out on my own personal projects.
