41 to 50 - #100DaysOfCode
13 March 2022
This is my fifth post in the #100daysofcode challenge series. On this page I will detail what I have covered during days 41 to 50.
A reminder of the rules for the challenge:
- Code for a minimum of an hour every day for the next 100 days
- Tweet about your progress each day (follow me @jazibobs)
Day 41 - 11 Mar 2022
I started this section of the challenge by completing the fifth and final D3.js challenge on freeCodeCamp to earn my Data Visualisation Certification
Day 42 - 12 Mar 2022
Spent the day working on my personal website to catalogue what I had achieved during days 31 to 40.
Day 43 - 13 Mar 2022
I made a start on the information security path on freeCodeCamp. I set up a Node.js environment locally and on Heroku in order to learn more about securing Express.js applications using Helmet.
Day 44 - 14 Mar 2022
Continuing with the freeCodeCamp information security path, I was able to add XSS filtering, HTTPS only headers and cache control to a Express.js application using Helmet.
Day 45 - 15 Mar 2022
I completed all of the Express.js related challenges on freeCodeCamp’s information security learning path. Tomorrow I’ll make a start learning about PenTesting tools with Python.
Day 46 - 16 Mar 2022
Completed all of the Python PenTesting challenges on freeCodeCamp. I learnt about building a TCP client with Python, developed my own nmap scanner and built a port scanner.
Day 47 - 17 Mar 2022
Before making a start on the freeCodeCamp challenges for information security, I had a look at a few of the Linux challenges on OverTheWire.org. I got as far as bandit13 on the site. Still a ways to go to get to level 34, I’ll have to come back to this!
Day 48 - 18 Mar 2022
Made a start on the first information security project challenge on freeCodeCamp. Created a new Heroku deployment for an Express.js stock checking web app which I’ll need to build and deploy.
The GitHub repository for this project can be found here.
Day 49 - 19 Mar 2022
Continued work on my stock checking project, I’m now able to return real time data about stocks listed on the NYSE. The next step will be to add a database to this system so I’m able to track user’s favourite stocks to pass the freeCodeCamp project assignment.
Day 50 - 20 Mar 2022
Lazy Sunday, spent some time updating this website with my progress over days 41 to 50.
