An initial plan for the 100 days challenge is as follows, although I expect this to evolve as I go along.
Day 1:
- Clojure syntax and basic language use
Day 2-42:
One or more exercises from the following websites
- [4Clojure challenges](http://www.4clojure.com/)
- [Awesome kata exercises](https://github.com/gamontal/awesome-katas) with clojure.test
- [ClojureBridge London exercises](https://clojurebridgelondon.github.io/workshop/)
Day 43-75:
- [http://Exercisim.io](https://exercism.io/)
- [CodeWars](https://www.codewars.com/)
- Clacks cryptography – other more advanced cyphers
- Game of Life basics / clojurescript
- Tic-tac-toe clojurescript
- Othello clojurescript
- Connect 4 - clojurescript
- Space-wars in Clojurescript / svg – http://quil.info ?
- Some projects with spec
Day 76-100: (not 77-100)
- [Advent of code](https://adventofcode.com/)
- [24 pull requests](https://24pullrequests.com/)
Is day 76 a holiday?
It would seem that day 76 is the day to see if anyone else is paying attention 🙂 Thanks for spotting the typo, as 77 should be 76 of course, to hit the start of the Advent of Code for 2018.
So does rule 5 here (https://github.com/jr0cket/100-days-of-clojure-code/blob/master/rules.md) negate what is being attempted over days 2 - 42?
I would say the commitment is to spend at least an hour each day on those exercises (to see how many you can get done in an hour-ish).
I'm definitely willing to ignore rule 5 🙂
I think committing to over 40ish hours of 4clojure exercises, etc is well worth the effort
I hadn't seen rule 5 until now. I will apply rule 5 partially 🙂
@yogidevbear Interesting point raised regarding rule 5, thanks for spotting that. @seancorfield thanks for the feedback. As with everything real, I expect the plan and the rules will adapt and evolve, otherwise that in itself wouldn't be a real situation. I hadnt really expected it to change before I started, however, I probably should have read all the rules first 🙂 To me the plan and rules are there to support and encourage me to do a significant amount of code every day for 100 days. Its the journey and the learning that is important to me (and hopefully a lot of learning I can share). Any changes to the rules or plan will be added to the journal I keep, along with the reasons for changing them.
Don't worry about it on my account. It was just a naive attempt at a joke 🙂
I am happy you noticed it though, gives me something to consider 🙂
How does rule 5 conflict with those days' activity? I didn't actual follow that... even if it was a joke...
I think it's basically saying the the time only counts if it's spent working on a real project (as opposed to tutorials/exercises)
>I will work on real projects, facing real challenges. The time spent doing tutorials, online courses and other similar resources will NOT count towards this challenge.
Oh, I totally missed that since it was below the fold in Slack! Hahaha... OK, good point.
