How I do come up with coding/programming projects?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saturday 6th January 2024
Pinterest is the love of my life (after Jesus), I love that site so much! So many people have asked where I get inspiration for my projects and 99.99% of the time I saw a pin on Pinterest~!
How I find the design inspirations is by searching things like:
web design
notion templates
app design
ux ui design
powerpoint template
then I put them into a Pinterest board and refer back to them in the future! Most times I add my own twist to the designs because I want to make it more personalised to what I want!
But yeah, try pinterest! Find your interest and search on Pinterest for inspiration! PIN your INTEREST~! 🙌🏾🖤

@hezalife I wanted to make a post about this because my answer was longer than what I could put in a reply comment! The comment was about this post I made about the project ideas I have saved in my notes app on my phone!
Okay to answer the question, I get a bunch of ideas from literally everywhere. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas:
Hobbies/interests I have and think of a way to make a web app/program/web page out of it. E.g. I like playing Minecraft, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, The Sims etc so I would thing of ideas around those games and create a programming project out of it.
Get the stereotypical “beginners” project ideas and expand on that. Calculator? How do I make it better, more advanced! To-do list? Don’t like basic, add more and more features to it. Text-based RPG console game? Make it more complex. Stuff like that.
Same with the other point above but add a theme to it. Hello Kitty version (my go-to theme since I started programming…)
I follow people on GitHub and Twitter that share their projects and I think of something similar or get inspiration from them and think “Okay, how do I make myself and better?” Sometimes not even better but how would I tackle that project myself.
What would make my life a little bit easier - I made TumblrTextTint generate the code needed for formatting colours in text for me. I coded it and I use it. Don’t care if someone in the past did it already, I sat down and coded my own one. It’s all experience and a good feeling in the end~!
Since I’m all for experimenting and gaining experience with programming, I also follow some tutorials on YouTube and from that’s programming blogs online. I don’t like following the instructions exactly, I like to add my own twist!
Get stuck? Use those online generators to give you a prompt on a theme or a whole idea for a next project.
I have a blog and I like to add pages and changes to the theme a bit so I make a whole ass project out of it. “Build a navigation page”, “Build an About Me page” etc.
Things I use a lot and create a project idea from it e.g. I have a lot of Tumblr-related project ideas because I use Tumblr a lot. Find something you use and do a lot and create an idea from it to work on.
Hope this answers your question!! Sorry, it’s a long post!

06.06.2023 - Tuesday Hello everyone! I am running to finish my TypeScript course (I am loving it, TypeScript is so “smooth”), as I must complete it in order to do the Angular course. I will start in the tech architecture team in July, that is why I am doing my best with the courses. Furthermore, I will keep working with Java, but I will also deal more with Spring for Back-end (I already studied it before, but need to remember), and Angular for Front-end. Keep studying you all, and stay hydrated!

Day 1/100 days of code 💫
I made a weather app recently !! I used HTML, CSS and Javascript to construct the app with a few assets I found from an online tutorial, I tried watching the video once and trying it out myself, also adding little usability fixes such as being able to press the enter key whilst searching (and not limiting to button clicks) + learnt how t use API for weather forecasts
I had really minimal knowledge on HTML and CSS before this little project but now I feel like I've gotten down it's functionality applying it to a real project, I feel like researching and adding comments for every chunk of code rly helped me understand so v proud of my progress 🤗🌸
Javascript is still a bit fuzzy to me bc I haven't really got any fundamentals I went in quite blind, but it seemed to make sense !! I'm sure I'll nail it down soon as I use it more in future projects 💫

I Made a Spell Search for DnD 5e
The time has come. The first big project for class. It was daunting. It seemed so far out of my abilities I thought to myself "What am I going to do? How can I do this? Am I even capable?" The project criteria were to create an app using HTML, CSS, and JS that accesses data from a public API while running on a single page and has three distinct event listeners. Racking my brain for some kind of project I could make, I scoured a list of APIs that I could potentially use hoping the idea would come to me. Scrolling through the enormous list I started to lose a little hope. How could I even get this to work anyway? None of these are jumping out at me as my idea of exciting or fun. Until I found an API that was simply a list of all the spells in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. Being the nerd that I am, an idea sprang forth in my mind like a star bursting into existence. "What if I made an app that searches the spells?" Brilliant. Not original but hey that's not the point. It was *my* brilliance. After coming up with the idea it was time to start plotting out the basic ideas for the app. What would it fundamentally do? Now I'm pretty practical and methodical when it comes to coding. So I did the first thing I thought would make sense, write comments for every single thing the app is supposed to do! Things like "// Fetch data from API", " // Convert data to JSON", "// Store the results in spellArray" You get the idea. I even broke up the sections of the functionality with comments you'll see below like "//spell search" And to clarify I will be primarily talking about the javascript here as it is the main focus of this phase of the class.
Tumblr media
After this, it was only a matter of writing the code for each bit of comment that made everything work. This is a gross oversimplification of course as it was about 95% of the task. But I digress.
And it worked! Against my own initial anxieties and doubts, I had a working searchable spell list! You can bet I was very ecstatic about this development. But of course, that was only one of the three event listeners I needed to satisfy the criteria. So I thought, "Okay so what can I do now?" and then it hit me again, another star created in the universe of my brain. Why not add a random spell button? Random things are fun and I could use a keyboard press event listener! So I did just that.
Tumblr media
And again, another working piece of code. "Maybe I can do this after all.", I thought to myself. Two out of three down. The last one I will admit I got the idea from the instructions for adding a light and dark mode.
Tumblr media
Okay done. It worked too. Only it wasn't exactly obvious that the light/dark mode button could be clicked. So I added a pointer.
Tumblr media
And with that, I had four. But I wasn't satisfied there. I noticed something in my code. I had a redundancy for the API call. It was unnecessarily calling the API every time the spell was searched even if it was searched previously. So for example, if you searched "Fireball" you would get the results for Fireball from the API in a div. But if you were to search Fireball a second time, it would call the API again despite already having the data. I didn't like this. It's not like it was slow by any means but it would be just a little bit *faster* and more *streamlined*. Plus it cleaned the code up a bit. So I began by making a place for the spells to go locally:
Tumblr media
Then, I had it check if the spell details had the spell or not, if not, it would make a call to the API:
Tumblr media
If it did, then it would pull from the locally stored spell details instead.
Tumblr media
And in order for this all to work I needed to create a function that searched for the spells.
Tumblr media
Finally, I had it. The fastest (I think) possible DnD spell searcher I could make. And I thought back to how I felt before when I thought I couldn't do this and I was pretty happy about it.
You can see the finished product here and of course the GitHub link here.

Thoughts so far of CS50x
I watched the lecture through and started to practise what I remembered in the codespace. I realised how little I remembered so I am now going through the lecture bit by bit. I watch a bit whilst writing notes, practise what he showed us, and then give myself some small projects to do that utilises what I am learning in a different way.
I am almost an hour of watchtime for the lecture this time around and this process is really helping me to get used to C and how it is structured. I am able to fix silly mistakes in my code and am getting faster.
For my latest project I created a MadLibs where the user inputs verbs and adjectives which is used to create a story. I sould love to share it and get some feedback but I am unsure how to do that from the workspace.
Overall, there are some parts of coding that comes naturally to me, and others that I struggle to process and understand. I have spent so much time getting stuck on problems in my code but the rush that comes when I solve it is amazing!
Finally, I know I am only a beginner so of course there is a lot that I don't know, but I really struggle with imposter syndrome and I feel liks it is only going to increase as I go further on my journey. To be honest, that is partly why I started this blog - to put myself out there and tell myself that I deserve a place in this community; and so that I can find others to support each other.
See you soon, Genny :)

My 2023 Projects
Tumblr media
Wednesday 3rd January 2024
I thought it would be cool to share some of the projects I made last year that I liked and enjoyed working on! Most of them were small projects, some were projects I built straight after I learnt a new concept and a few are discontinued (I won't finish them anytime soon)!
I really hope, which I know I will because it's natural for me at this point, to make lots of more cool projects! This year, I want to make more with other people! Coding alone is cool and all but with other people I get more inspired!
Lastly = always remember to build projects that you're interested in. Projects you will have fun working on for a while. Every single one of these projects I've made, I was interested in somehow. And I had fun!!
Anyhoo, check out the projects below~! 🙋🏾‍♀️😊🖤

Went to bed with 3 new personal project ideas. I think they are doable. They’re mostly desktop web based so sorry mobile devices… I’m basically wanting to make browser extensions but for I have ✨zero experience✨ making them so I’ll have to learn 🥲
It will take months to build this though. Which is good. I need a project to work towards for a long time 🕰️
I feel like a genius.

Introduction to Coding: Your First Steps in the World of Programming
Visual Introduction Imagine a symphony. An orchestra of musicians each playing their instrument in perfect harmony to create a beautiful piece of music. Now replace those musicians with lines of code, the instruments with computer systems, and the symphony with any software or web application that you use daily. This is what coding is like. It’s the process of writing instructions in a language…
