It was a fairly quiet month on the coding front. The first half of the month was largely taken up by a visit to Poland - to the cities of Krakow and Warsaw. I had a great time and I definitely had my fair share of pierogi.

Here’s the progress that I made in August -

  • I read JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development (Duckett, 2013) and Superintelligence (Bostrom, 2014)

  • I started freeCodeCamp and completed most of the Responsive Web Design Certification (excluding the final projects). I managed to put together some design mock-ups for the final projects and hope to get them completed by the end of September

  • I started working my way through internetingishard.com - which I’ve found to be a really good resource

  • I completed the following modules on DataCamp - Cleaning Data in Python; Introduction to Data Science in Python; Pandas Foundations; and Manipulating DataFrames with pandas

Since deciding to record my learning progress, I’ve kept a rough record of the hours spent each day. I’ve put together some data visualisations using pandas/Matplotlib, which you can see below, styled in xkcd 🙂 -
