I'm Augustine Tonia Davidson, also known as T-Gus, and I'm from Liberia, West Africa, and, my favorite pet is a dog.

I have the intention of doing Full Stack Frontend Development.

I started off with HTML and CSS; learning to build (simple) web pages, but without the interactivity. Then I started with JavaScript, which brings the interactivity to the web page. I started with some free online YouTube tutorials; but then, 'tutorial hell' started. I could read and understand a lot of JavaScript. I could read people's code and know exactly the output, but couldn't see myself as confident enough to do a complete JavaScript program on my own. Tutorial hell. Then somewhere along the way, I stumbled across a few Python tutorial videos from Tech With Tim, Clever Programmer, Mosh, Free Code Camp, Amigoscode, etc..., and then, I said to myself, "Damn..., I love Python", "I think I want to be a Python Developer". Python is a multi-purpose high level programming language that resembles the English language. I decided! And to get the ball rolling I enrolled in Dr. Angela Yu's 100 Days of Code - The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2021 Udemy Course.

I've signed my Pledge/Commitment to do this course to the end, the very end. To do that, to live up to my pledge, I hope to post here on Hashnode.com, each day's work completion, for the entire 100 days.... Note that Angela's 1 day (for some cases) is like 2 - 3 days.

The output of doing this course is, I will:

  • • Be able to program in Python professionally • Master the Python programming language by building 100 projects over 100 days • Create a portfolio of 100 Python projects to apply for developer jobs • Be able to build fully fledged websites and web apps with Python • Be able to use Python for data science and machine learning • Build games like Blackjack, Pong and Snake using Python • Build GUIs and Desktop applications with Python • Learn to use modern frameworks like Selenium, Beautiful Soup, Request, Flask, • Pandas, NumPy, Scikit Learn, Plotly, Matplotlib, Seaborn, etc...

Day 1 - August 10, 2021 • Band Name Generator Project - Completed

Day 2- August 11, 2021 • Tip Calculator Project - Completed
