It's funny how this #100DaysOfCode challenge has reduced my procrastination a lot. Even with few views, I feel responsible and can't finish the day without something to show. If you're learning to code, do yourself a favor and join this trend!.

Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode . Today, I finished Chapter 6 of the Next.js course, which involved creating and seeding a database with initial data. I was a bit confused at times, but I'm not worried since I'll learn MongoDB later. For now, I just wanted to get a sense of the basics.

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode . Rough day. I had a bunch of problems with Vscode, GitHub, SSH keys, etc. basically a back and forth of installing and deleting things (my laptop is TRASH). So I didn't do much; I just did Chapter 5 of the Next course - links, the usePathname() hook, etc.

Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode . Currently I'm re-learning Next, I had already learned through some courses on youtube, however, I decided to try the course Next itself offers. Today, I went through the first 4 chapters - Preparation, Styling, Optimizing Fonts & Images, Layouts & Pages

Anyone learning Next.js?. I've been trying out some courses, and I'm really impressed by the one Next.js itself offers. I'm usually a visual guy, but the course is really good and easy to understand. Recommended!. Here is the link if anyone is interested:

When to use Server vs Client side components in Next?. A really simple trick is to just let Next do its thing; let it make it server side but when you want to use some React capabilities like useState, useEffect, or interactivity, simply add “use client” at the top of the file

Just saw another person doing the #100daysofcodechallenge . That's my sign to join in!. Starting tomorrow, I'm taking on this challenge—not just to follow the trend, but to ensure I code every day, even when I don't feel like it. Having someone to report will keep me accountable.
