Days 4, 5 & 6

Saturday, 21st October 2023

Well, this has been a rollercoaster of a week. I got tired of my Windows PC (10 years old) freezing when I opened more than three tabs at a time. So, shifted myself over onto a Linux machine cobbled together from bits of old office computer components I got free. Jumping from a 10-year-old HDD to a fresh SSD is giving me whiplash on bootup haha!

But it's so much easier for following along with TOP now. I've gone through the first sections a couple of times now, trying to cement it in my head before moving on. I still find myself checking my cheatsheet every time I need to create a new file or anything.

On an actual coding front, I've been reacquainting myself with isotope.js the last two days. It came as a horrible shock to discover that the site for it was down, but someone pointed me in the direction of the internet archive, where you can still read through the documentation.

Ever so slowly getting there with javascript. I'm looking forward to tackling the HTML & CSS sections of TOP and discovering what holes there are in my knowledge, though. Nothing like reading through things called 'fundamentals' to realise how scattergun my learning approach has been.

In the meantime, I'm going to be playing around with the styling of this filterable list today and singing the praises of flex to everyone that will listen. I'm also contemplating having a play with making my own tumblr theme for funsies. Does anyone have any advice for getting started?

[daxdoodles]

It's been a while

Hello! I realise that I had essentially abandoned my tumblr, and I won't lie I really did forget about this place because the style of how blogs work just didn't fit my posting style. But I want to try to make an effort to post on here more often, and I have a lot of art backlog to catch up on. I realise the mistake I made here was trying to keep it too neat and tidy, which is something I very rarely am as a person, so instead I'll simply be posting what I enjoy. If you want to know what I have been up to since the last time I posted well, I graduated University! It's been about a year now since I officially graduated and life has been up and down since, I made my Final Major Film, which appeared in several festivals, it's a small thing but I am super proud of what I managed to accomplish in a small amount of time; I had a job and lost it, I went to Annecy with some friends and the job search continues (animation industry am I right?) I have also been helping out re-start Sheezy! (again haha) and it's doing super well, I am having a lot of fun hosting the Monthly challenges and coming up with ideas for the site (that Ry then has to build eheheh more work for him) I am also quite fond of building my Page there, it's also been fun to learn some HTML/CSS. If you do check it out a lot of my newer art us up to date on there.

I don't think I am gonna dump my backlog of stuff right away, I think I would rather build this place up slowly, along with getting some use out of my other blogs. Good to be back!

Nutty (Court of Roses)

Children of Shadow: Ashes https://spiderforest.com/comics/children-of-shadow-ashes/ Genre: Anthro/Horror/Urban Fantasy Trigger Warnings: Rated Mature for blood, gore, and intense scenes Reasons: Some of the most lovely pencil work I've ever seen, well-rendered animal art and a compelling world!(edited)

Heirs of the Veil https://spiderforest.com/comics/heirs-of-the-veil/ Genre: Drama/Urban Fantasy Trigger Warnings: Rated PG-16+ for transphobia, dysphoria, mental illness, blood, trauma, body horror Reasons: Absolutely gorgeous artwork, really compelling illustrations of the lgbt experience

Aloe https://spiderforest.com/comics/aloe/ Genre: Adventure/Drama/Sci-Fi Trigger Warnings: Rated Teen for violence and blood Reasons: I'm normally not into sci-fi but this comic is so bright and colorful, I really love it a lot. Also the main character is non-binary!

AntiBunny

Dead Winter http://deadwinter.cc/ Genre: Zombie Apocalypse Trigger Warnings: Violent Reasons: Well it's a straightforward zombie survival comic. What's impressive is how well the artist has studied comics as an art form and put thought and purpose into every panel.

HiddenElephant

http://welcome2earth.webcomic.ws/ Snarky alien crashes onto Earth. Not enough people are reading it in my opinion.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

Super Galaxy Knights Deluxe R: http://sgkdr.thecomicseries.com/ Genre: Action, Comedy Trigger Warnings: Blood, Dismemberment Reasons: A recommendation for @Goobatron . It's my comic. The creator is me. Super Galaxy Knights is a story about Mizuki Sato, who goes on adventures through a strange world, making friends along the way. The dialogue is like... 70% banter, 30% total non-sequiturs. The art style uses 3D models, in like a weird cel-shaded style that's meant to be reminiscent of games like Wind Waker and Dragon Ball FighterZ. And there's also a bunch of animated panels/pages. There's also a ton of really strange characters. Like there's a dude whose power is that he always wins knife fights. There's a wizard who shrinks hot dogs and carries them around in capsules. Etc. One warning - the early pages are a bit rough-looking. Some have been redrawn recently, but others haven't yet, so it can be a bit jarring to go back and forth between styles.

Cap’n Lee (Flowerlark Studios)

Clockwork http://www.clockwork-comic.com/ Genre: Fantasy / Drama CW: Some language and violence Clockwork is a comic about Cog Kleinshmidt, a moody teenager with an uncanny talent for repairing machinery. He feels he’s a nobody, but is swept into the turbulent world of politics, and is forced to learn magic in a world where magic is strictly forbidden. The art in this comic is incredibly polished and lively, and the characters are all instantly endearing. The writing is also top-notch. The first time I read it, I was completely sucked in after only a few pages. It’s currently on hiatus while the creator prepares the next chapter, but it’s well worth the wait.(edited)

Moral_Gutpunch

Micheal Morbius: Freelance Vampire http://freelancevampire.thecomicseries.com/ Genre: Drama, comedy Trigger: mentions of death and violence, talk of abusive relationships, mention of rape. It's all in dialog. Micheal Morbius, from Marvel comics, struggles to adjust to a as normal a life as a vampire can have. He helps a friend get back on her feet, he goes through therapy, and he's visited by Spider-heroes, this time a new one. Meanwhile, a true monster lurks int he shadows. The art isn't good, but the story and dialog are worth it. It's my comic. I hope after I get a few more pages going people will enjoy the story. It's a story I've been wanting to write for ages and I figured I'm not going to write for Marvel anytime soon (yes, I checked copyright law, Marvel allows this). Dedicated to Stan Lee.

Pakky

The Boy Who Fell http://boywhofell.com/ Genre: Drama, Adventure, Action, Comedy TW: Violence, blood, fighting, ptsd, suicide, death Synopsis (from the website): The Boy Who Fell revolves around an innocent, softhearted and almost-spineless boy named Ren who suddenly finds himself in Hell after accidentally falling off a school rooftop. He is then forced to partake in a tournament full of powerful and vicious beings in order to attain his only way of going home: an all-powerful wish from the ruler of Hell himself. As the story progresses, lines between allies and enemies are blurred, dark pasts are revealed, political issues come to light and all the while, Ren slowly realizes that in order to survive this journey, he might have to give up the very things that make him human I love this webcomic and have been following this artist for over 10 years now and recommend their work to anyone who will listen haha! Super long running webcomic with a well developed storyline and world.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

Broken http://broken.spiderforest.com/ Genre: Horror Trigger Warnings: Military, death, monsters Reasons: Broken offers a very interesting twist on the concepts of fairies, presenting you with a fairy general on the battlefield fighting against corrupted abominations. The concepts and worldbuilding here are very interesting and the battle/action scenes are great. Often makes use of animation and some HTML/CSS for extra effect. Of Magic and Muses https://xiicomic.com/magic-and-muses/ Genre: Magical Girls, mystery Trigger Warnings: There's a big monster at some point? Reasons: It's a magical girl story! Except nobody knows what's happening, the powers the girls get are maybe not of a friendly nature and they wear armor? The escalation of events is suberb. It has a large (and growing) cast, but each character has their own unique personality, making them super easy to follow and love. Ghost Junk Sickness https://www.ghostjunksickness.com/ Genre: action, sci-fi Trigger Warnings: violence, limb loss, death Reasons: There's a lot to be said about this comic! I really like the characters, who are deeply flawed and charming and make a lot of mistakes (the main duo having an especially interesting, yet sorta problematic dynamic). The worldbuilding is interesting and quirky to match. The mysterious bounty The Ghost is a looming presence, and apparently we'll be learning more about them soon. Super exciting and fun action scenes too!

Desnik

https://monsterhead.net/ Genre: LGBT+ American rural occult fantasy Trigger Warnings: Animal death, mild body horror Reasons: The author/artist is an OC-loving member of the LGBT+ community, and her work deals with self-love in the face of weird circumstances. Love the colors, Carter is an appealing and relatable main character, and the worldbuilding is something I've never seen before.

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

http://www.phantomarine.com/ Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural Trigger Warnings: Death, Mild Body Horror, Mild Violence, Mild Language Reasons: ...This is my comic! (edited)

Phantomarine is a spooky-but-sweet fantasy webcomic about a ghostly princess and her perilous journey across a haunted sea, hoping to save her soul from a devious, shapeshifting death god known as the Red Tide King. Expect all manner of maritime mysteries – monstrous sea creatures, sacred lighthouses, strange afflictions, accursed marauders, feuding gods, grand sea battles, and a heaping helping of humor in-between.

eliushi [Keyspace]

https://tapas.io/series/KEYSPACE-A-Winged-Tale/ https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/keyspace-a-winged-tale/list?title_no=322364 Genre: YA Science Fantasy, LGBT+ Trigger warnings: Mild body horror/violence/monsters, death Reasons: My comic Blurb: Florence thought her idyllic life living with the winged beings would last forever. However, when her mother disappears from a mysterious expedition, she fears for the worst. Through exploring hidden laboratory tunnels beneath the forest, facing Machines from a century-long war against humans, and seeking guidance from the Lost people from a civilization gone by, Flo and her winged friends must piece together the past in order to save all those they love.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

O Sarilho https://www.sarilho.net/en Genre: Post-Apocaliptic/Sci-fi Trigger Warnings: War, military, death Reasons: I make it Short description: A small team goes on a mission to enemy territory to find the remains of an ancient satellite and they end up finding a lot more. There are computers and dams and electricity-worshipping future romans (edited)

GGY

Tile: Over 8 Miles https://tapas.io/episode/859067 Genre: Drama, Comedy, Slice of Life Reasons I make it: Cause its fun and I enjoy sharing the existence of my characters and their life outside my brain

Emma (Friends or Lovers?)

Dreamwalker Felix by KT and TK https://tapas.io/series/Dreamwalker-Felix and https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/dreamwalker-felix/list?title_no=182487 Genre: Fantasy/Supernatural Trigger Warnings: There's some body horror in there Reasons: The art is just beautiful, and it has tons of funny moments Friends or Lovers? by yours truly https://tapas.io/series/friendsorlovers and https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/friends-or-lovers/list?title_no=49520 Genre: Romance/school slice of life Trigger Warnings: Mentions and depictions of bullying Reasons: It's my comic, so I'll just quote a reader: "Your comic is more accurate to real teens in love in high school than most. It's really good stuff"

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Earth in a Pocket http://earthinapocket.spiderforest.com/ Genre: Retro Sci-fi, Iyashikei Trigger Warnings: none Reasons: This comic posted its final page very recently! It's a relatively short read; very gentle and hopeful without being cavity-causingly sweet. The creator has put together such a heartwarming story that I've been adoring for a while. One of my faves, now complete!

renieplayerone

O Human Star https://ohumanstar.com/ Genre: Scifi, Robots, Drama TW: Dysphoria, Depression Reasons: The characters are so well written and emotional, plus I love the simplistic color palette. They get across the journey of self-discovery in such an interesting way.(edited)

carcarchu

Arcane Flames https://tapas.io/series/Arcane-Flames Genre: Fantasy Trigger Warnings: death? Reasons: I've been following kutty sark for many years now and I've really been looking forward to this comic which I'm pleased to say even exceeded my expectations. Fantastic art and the tone of the story is just lovely, i adore al'vis

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

https://sfeertheory.com/ The art is incredible. Every character, even the background ones, is full of personality. I love a good underdog story, and Luca's speech in chapter three made me scream into my hands and tear up. I can't recommend it highly enough

Tantz Aerine (Without Moonlight)

http://secondcrimeanwar.thecomicseries.com/

The Second Crimean War is a powerful and fun story in an alternate 1990s decade in Ukraine. The art is black and white and improves in leaps and bounces as you move on in the story! The story itself draws you in from page one. There's suspense, there's (black) humor, there's atmosphere and adventure. Highly recommended if you like war/action/suspense.

varethane

Have you ever read Nasty Red Dogs? https://nastyreddogs.com/

oh golly, haha

yeah, it's a fun and twisted and surreal little tale, the early parts especially are like walking through a really bizarre dream that if you describe it, it ought to be called a nightmare, but at the moment you're in it, it doesn't FEEL like one lol

the creator also does a comic called Feast For A King, which I think is more well-known but I haven't read yet (will at some point tho): https://feastforaking.com/comic/

kelly-zine

Title: Zyra Slash Genre: Sci-Fi, Comedy, Slice-Of-Life TW: None (for right now at least, it just started!) Reasons: I love Alex and their characters so much!

(Note that it’s on hiatus at the moment!) https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/zyra-slash/list?title_no=373763

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Title: Ark https://www.arkcomic.com/ Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Anthro TW: violence (nothing heavy yet, but my Spider Senses are tingling) Reasons: A 1920s-inspired, extremely believable fantasy setting. Hints of racial tension and a possible war brewing on the horizon. It's pretty early in the story, so hop in and claim the front row seats for this gorgeously illustrated comic! (edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Tamberlane https://www.tamberlanecomic.com/ Genre: slice of life, heartwarming, Anthro It has a cast of colourful characters. Charming story of a clumsy bat named Belfry who adopts a little human. Various animal neighbors to love

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I found one of the Chinese webcomics I use to follow, is now on Webtoons. They rename the title to: The Emperor's New Body because it's about body swapping and has interesting depth while some silly hijinks https://tapas.io/series/the-emperors-new-body(edited)

trinketfox

May as well rec my first ever favorite webcomic! Warrior U! https://warrior-u-thecomic.tumblr.com/ It's so expressive and funny that I've always wished it would become a show on cartoon network or something. Only the first few pages are still up on this tumblr since the official site is down, but all chapters are on the artist's gumroad!

It's an episodic comedy fantasy that goes from page-long gags to full episodes. Reccomended for it's humor and a really fun art style.

SteffieMusings

Nebula Beings https://tapas.io/series/Nebula-Beings Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror/Thriller Trigger Warnings: Violence, scary imagery (especially in chapter 7), talks/implied past abuse Reasons: It's a fun series and the two main characters learn to overcome challenges during their travels.(edited)

This is the comic books for Cafe Suada I used to read way back. It's a fun slice of life about a teahouse shop keeper rivals with a coffee shop manager https://tapas.io/series/Cafe-Suada The artist used some traditonal tea staining for the textures. The story inspired me to draw my own slice of life series(edited)

I wanna hear your song - Episode 7

So after trying unsuccessfully to customize my tumblr as I wanted, I am back for the episode, I am too curious about what is going to happen to keep my head into css and html or whatsoever coding language there is haha!

So, we left last episode on a huge cliffhanger : is Yiyoung really the murderer?  Unfortunately, I don’t think we will have an answer anytime soon...

So naturally, our Yiyoung being such a nice girl is really shook by the news.  She’s also very upset because now she understands that all along Jang Yoon knew who she was ever since he approached her.  Her flashbacks keep coming back to her, but it never gets any longer so she can’t get any answers from them.  She is really hurt that he came to her thinking she is a murderer, and I think she might consider it to may be true. Lost in her thought, she makes a big mistake while distributing the music sheets for practice and her friends worries about her since she is so off of it. When she’s about to bump into Jang Yoon, she tries to run away from him, but he follows her and gives her pressure to remember.  He’s begging her because she’s the only one that can remember.  She is furthermore hurt because then she knows he actually doesn’t care about her, about what will happen to her if ever she really is the murderer.  I think they are both selfish.  I mean, if you are the murderer, I guess you should pay for your crime.  You’re a good girl, but... And I mean if she forgot, there is probably a good reason to that.  I mean, if she’s innocent and forgot.  I am more thinking she would be innocent, not guilty, but I am pretty sure this drama is going to blow my mind with all of those plot twists. Anyways, she starts crying and asks him to leave her alone and give her more time.  Right by then, Juwan gets a glimpse of her and he realizes she must have had an argument with Jang Yoon and he warns him not to upset Yiyoung... because he likes her?  Like a pet I guess?  I mean, isn’t he dating the violinist girl?  This so confusing.

Anyways, Juwan go find Yiyoung and takes her away on what he calls a part-time job.  Actually, he takes her to his hometown to see his grandmother. We learn a little bit more about his past. He moved to Seoul when he was 17 to pursue his dream and a musical education. He was then supported by his grandmother financially, which how he managed to survive. In any case, it’s a good thing for her to have gone away for awhile. Until she dreams of being chased by someone and then falling down a cliff.

I must mention that I am really sad that they would use Clair de Lune.  I love that piece, but Debussy has so many nice piano pieces, it would be nice for once to hear something different from him in movies. Just my personal wish.

So when they go back to Seoul, she decides to face the truth, but maybe she can’t.  While a Jang Yoon’s place, when she holds the knife, she gets flashbacks again that convinces her that she is the murderer.  She leaves, completely shook and goes straight to meet with her cousin in which she confides.  Sooyoung is really upset about it and tries to convince Yiyoung that’s it’s all Jang Yoon trying to manipulate her. Big sister is trying to protect her little sister, but how much more does she know?

Ok, so creepy guy gets into Juwan’s office.  It seems like they are somehow acquainted and it is related to what happened a year ago. Creepy guy was sent to prison in Professor Kang and Nam Juwan’s stead? I don’t really get and don’t really know who is professor Kang, I remember having seen him, but my memory can’t go past that. Anyways, it seems creepy dude wants something in the possession of Yiyoung, but we still don’t know what that is.  The knife?  Probably something else, but what?  This is so intriguing!  An scary.

There is a party for the oboist’s birthday and Yiyoung gets a little drunk.  On her way back home, she has trouble walking straight which is why I guess Jang Yoon takes her to his house?  I don’t know, she still could have unlocked her own home by herself.  Anyways, she won’t stay as he tells her to, and as she is leaving, he hugs her and then kisses her?  Wait.  Since when did he like her back?  I don’t get it?  It doesn’t seem to me that he’s doing it to make her keep on trying to get back her memories. However, I never felt like he was attracted to her? Writers, what is this?  This is so confusing!

Okay, so she leaves him while he’s sleeping and takes a bus to the hangar where they were locked in before.  Creepy guy with the hat followed her to there... I don’t think I will like what will happen next... Definitely not.

I Finished the Entire freeCodeCamp Curriculum in 1 Month (and Recorded Everything)

One month ago I embarked on a challenge that many people told me was insane. I set out to conquer the entire freeCodeCamp curriculum. All while live streaming everything on my YouTube channel.

29 days, 56 Live Streams and 72 hours of live streams later... I did it! 🤩

First a Disclaimer

I'm a professional software engineer. I've been coding since 2013. And I had previous experience working with all of the technologies covered in freeCodeCamp's curriculum.

So this was way easier for me than it would be for most people. Most people spend years earning these certifications.

Remember: It's not about how much time it takes you to complete freeCodeCamp's curriculum – it's about what you are learning along the way.

I created this series as a guide for anyone who gets stuck during the curriculum, and wants to watch how a relatively experienced software engineer would solve challenges and build projects.

This series of 72 hours of video covers the following topics:

HTML

CSS

Flexbox

CSS Grid

JavaScript

Bootstrap

React

Redux

NodeJS

Express

MongoDB

Mongoose

and more...

And I also build 30 projects along the way.

Below you'll find a list with all the videos nicely structured by certifications. 👍

How did this crazy month of my life get started?

I've been planning to do this challenge for a while now. But it always seemed to be a HUGE one, which would take a lot of time to complete.

Apparently it didn't take months, as I initially thought. (And I'll tell you why in a moment.)

Before I started this challenge I ran this idea by freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson to see whether he thought that this was something that could benefit the developer community. He was very encouraging.

freeCodeCamp has a "learn in public" culture, and a lot of people post their projects on the forum and on GitHub for feedback. And an increasing number of people live-stream themselves building these projects, too.

Quincy said not to worry about "spoiling" any of the challenges or projects. These are all the equivalent of "open notes tests." Students must write their own code, but they can look at other people's solutions for inspiration if they want.

Why Did I Choose freeCodeCamp's Certifications for This Challenge?

I have always recommended freeCodeCamp's curriculum to people who want to start learning web development.

Why? Well, the answer is very simple: it's the best free resource to get up and running with web development, in my opinion.

Now, even though it's a very good resource, people tend to quit along the way because they start to hit different roadblocks... and that's sad. 😔

We want more people to finish the curriculum!

And here is where the Conquering freeCodeCamp's Curriculum challenge starts to shine. It gives everyone a follow-along playlist of videos in which I personally go through the entire curriculum, explaining what I'm thinking with each step I take. I also added my own comments and "bonus" explanations.

Every section on freeCodeCamp is covered in a single video. There are a total of 56 videos. (See below a list of all)

My background and experience

I started to learn how to code in 2013. Since then I've been a freelancer, I had multiple jobs and last year I started to write articles on my blog and started to create YouTube coding tutorials (feel free to subscribe if you like these type of videos - shameless plug 😄).

It is safe to say that I already knew most part of what is to learn on the platform, which gave me an advantage on conquering the curriculum in a month, BUT, don't let this intimidate you...

No matter your experience, no matter if it takes you 2-3-6 months or 1 year to complete the curriculum, just do it. I promise that you won't regret doing it.

I also worked A LOT to put out these Live Streams. Some days I even recorded more than 5 hours and I had a day in which I did 8 Live Streams completing one entire certification in that day...  😅

Why did I do that?

Well... most people would say that I'm either crazy or either a robot.

I'm not a robot, but maybe a bit crazy... yes. 😂

The reason why I pushed so hard was because I had plans to go in a vacation and I wanted to have this all out before going. (Well... the vacation got canceled, but I'm still happy that I had this done.)

And also, to be honest, my craziness to do challenges fast also played a role in this. For some reason I wanted to finish this in a month, but don't ask me why because I don't really know 😅.

Probably because I thought that this would be a new world record or something, although I haven't checked for that so... I don't really know if it is or not. Quincy should tell me, haha.

Conquering freeCodeCamp - All the Recordings

Below you can find a list with all of the recordings - 56 in total.

Keep in mind that all of these were recorded in a series of Live Streams, so you might hear me talk with the chat, I will take some breaks sometimes to analyse and even struggle to find some solutions 😅 - which is perfectly fine!

I did Live Streams instead of "planned recordings" because I wanted it to be as close to real life as possible. This is probably what you'll have to deal with too, so I think it's of a greater value this way than it would have been to just show you the solutions.

Also note that it's perfectly fine to take a break once you are stuck in a challenge. Just leave it for a couple of hours, even a day, and you'll see a great progress when you come back later to the challenge.

Feel free to join our discord server if you want to follow along doing the challenge with other people!

Alright, enough talking, errmmm writting... here are all of the recordings. Enjoy! 😃

What's next for me?

I will continue to create coding tutorials on my YouTube Channel as one of my main goals for 2020 is to reach 100,000 subscribers. (A crazy goal, I know, but... I think it's possible! What do you think? 😃)

I'm also waiting for the new Python certifications on freeCodeCamp to be released which I'm planning to go over too in a series of Live Streams.

Alongside these, you'll also find me doing other Live Coding series. The latest series which I created, CodeWars.js, is very useful if you want to learn more about how to solve different Coding Challenges using JavaScript.

Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to follow along with my journey. Also you can follow me on Twitter as I'm pretty active there.

I hope you found this article interesting!

Happy Coding! 😇
