Day 96: What is a Book? I Only Know Docs!

I Finished reading through the Node.js “Getting Started” section of the docs. I probably need to spend more time learning about buffers and streams. There was also a small mention of WebAssembly at the end which got me curious. It is not a priority right now but I added WebAssembly to my list subjects to look into. Now I can move on in The Odin Project Node.js curriculum. I want to rush but I know it pays off way more when I take things slow.

TLDR;

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

  • Node.js -> Finished reading through the Getting Started section of the Node.js docs. Read the sections on Node.js core modules, and a few other miscellaneous topics. Overall, it was interesting and there was a good deal of overlap with the knowledge I already have. The mentions of shell scripts has really got my gears turning though. So many real world ideas of combining all that I know keep coming up.


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.
