Progress: Completed 66 items of the freeCodeCamp Basic JavaScript challenges.
Notes: Most of the stuff I use on the daily so it was pretty easy to go trough the challenges. It is a nice refresher for the terminology. Most of the time you just write lines without really thinking so it's nice to read the description of each challenge and freshen up JavaScript terminology.

Progress: Completed 24 items of the freeCodeCamp Basic JavaScript challenges.
Notes: Had a pretty long day at work and started late with my daily hour. Would like to do spend some time in the morning (on commute) and maybe split that hour up in multiple time frames. These challenges take some more time and combined with the time is the reason why I didn't complete that many of them. Hope I can finish up the Basic JavaScript course tomorrow and start with the Functional Program section.

I split up my session today, 30 in the morning and 30 in the evening, feels like a nice balance so it's not that heavy to do all at once in the evening.

Progress: Completed the freeCodeCamp Functional programming section again and finished 4 algorithm challenges.
Notes: Spend the morning during my commute to go over the Functional programming section again. Nice to really get this down. In the evening I worked on the Algorithm challenges. The code of each challenge isn't really that 'hard' but researching to get the right answers takes some time.
- It really helps to split up each scripting challenge in really small steps.
- Don't give up and go to the hint too early. If I had taken a little more time I could have completed the palindrome challenge on my own but went to the hint instead. Prefer to take some more time (and do less challenges at the end of the day) then to go to the hint straight away.
- I don't think all of these challenges are things you come across everyday but they sure make you think like a programmer. Search for the problems in the documentation and take one step at a time.

Time: 1h 08m 52s
Progress: Completed 4 Basic Algorithm challenges.
Notes: It's pretty frustrating that from the four challenges I need to see the hints for two them. I get to around 80% of the desired result and I can't finish the last 20%. It's mostly just one word or one line and that bothers me. Maybe I need to change my strategy for searching or need to make a rule that I finish the challenge without looking at the hint. Once you see part of the solution you get that aha moment and I can complete it but maybe it feels even better if I can complete one without looking.
Also thinking about switching it up more. Doing those challenges for one hour straight is pretty frustrating at moments. Oh well, maybe I just need to bite the bullet.

Progress: Completed 2 Basic Algorithm challenges and spend the rest of the day on the NodeSchool Javascripting Workshopper.
Notes: Not the most focused day, didn't really feel like I made alot of progress. Felt a bit distracted. I really like the interactive workshopper from NodeSchool it feels more hands on instead of being stuck in the freeCodeCamp editor. With what I was thing earlier, I do feel like I can get more done if I don't to the algorithm challenge for a full hour but switch it up with another resource.
So the goal is to maybe 2 or 3 algorithm challenges (30 minutes) and spend the rest of the hour on another resource. Then the hour minimum goes by really quickly and I even feel like I can code for more than the minimum hour while it's still feels fun.
Results: You can see the contributions on my freeCodeCamp account. I've pushed the NodeSchool Workshopper exercises to this repo.

Time: 1h 04m 32s
Progress: Completed 3 Basic Algorithm challenges and finished the NodeSchool JavaScripting challenges.
Notes: The Basic Algorithm challenges are coming to an end and I've finished the NodeSchool challenges. I did more resources then expected in the first week. These resources may not be the most challenging right now but still, when I started I thought these would take me more time to complete. The goal is to finish the Basic algorithm challenges tomorrow and then if I have time left figure out what resource to take next.
Probably going to do one or [two] (https://github.com/workshopper/scope-chains-closures) JavaScript related workshoppers from NodeSchool and read through the MDN - Learn Web Development section about JavaScript. They explain some of the more topics a little bit more in-depth.
After that I think I've freshened up my basic JavaScript knowledge enough to start with the ES6 course by Wes Bos and then move onto JavaScript 30 cause it uses some ES6 syntax.

Progress: Started with the Functional JavaScript workshopper.
Notes: Didn't really grasp the concepts of this Workshopper and felt they were a little too verbose for my taste. Maybe it's nice to do these again in a later stadium but for now I don't really think I grasp the concepts that well. Still pushed the first couple of challenges to this repo.
Think it's better to finish the remaining freeCodeCamp Algorithm challenges first and learn some more basic stuff from the MDN documentation. Maybe look at some more basic 'easy' resources to do in the meantime.

Progress: Completed 2 Basic Algorithm challenges and started reading the MDN Learn Web Development Resource.
Notes: Still really like the mix between practical examples and reading. The MDN documentation is really written with beginners in mind. It's nice as a refresher and I really like how clear it's written but for me it can be a little more complex but I suppose that will come later. It's never a bad idea to skim trough some basic terminology.
Hope to finish the last two algorithm challenges tomorrow so I can check those off. Maybe even do them again later in the 100 days and see if I made any improvements and if I can complete them faster with less hints.
I do feel like that it's best to sit at home for more practical examples so I can focus more and in the train do some casual reading while taking notes.

Progress: Progress wasn't tracked.
Notes: So I kinda coded for about 65± minutes today while I had some time left at work. So I kinda broke the rule that coding at work doesn't count towards 'official' time. But that's kinda not also true because I was reading some more JavaScript MDN documentation, just not the one where I left off. So I also kinda tracked my time doing it. So I kinda let this one slip trough the cracks and will spent atleast 2 hours tomorrow to kinda compensate.
Progress: Continued reading the MDN - Learn Web Development JavaScript section.
Notes: As stated before, it's really nice to read these sections on MDN. They have a nice balance between theory and practical examples. The descriptions are one of the clearest I've read. It's nice that they also make a clean distinction between core JavaScript language theory and Browser specific elements.

Progress: Finished reading the first JavaScript Learn Web Development Module.
Notes: The section covered most of the basic JavaScript keywords and data types. Nice to go trough and while reading I try to code along. The theory is mostly the same from freeCodeCamp but they focus a bit more on assignments and practical examples. MDN does have some 'active learning' parts in it but they just explain a little bit more in-depth.

Progress: Completed the last 2 freeCodeCamp Basic Algorithm Challenges and further reading on the MDN JavaScript section.
Notes: Finally finished the last 2 challenges so I can check that off the list. Maybe further into these 100 days I will maybe continue with the Intermediate challenges. I do like them but they mostly only cover JavaScript core language features. The thing that I like about the MDN documentation is that the cover a bit more practical use cases in the Browser.
As a side note, I started using Toggl for tracking my Time. Before I just set a quick timer inside Google but with Toggl I can track the time a bit more in-depth and see at what times of the day I spent time on this challenge.

These are things you are gonna use very often when you OOP. So I really want to take the time and go over this section pretty slowly, even reading some sections twice.
Finally understanding a bit more about objects and how they are created. It's one of those things I just started using but not really knowing the basics of it.

Prototypes and inheritance represent some of the most complex aspects of JavaScript, but a lot of JavaScript's power and flexibility comes from its object structure and inheritance, and it is worth understanding how it works.

Notes: The last one about client-side storage was a bit rough. Nice to grasp some of the concepts but maybe a bit out of scope for my personal taste. There are alot more JavaScript resources and basic topics that I want to learn but I think it's a nice change of pace to start with the ES6 course from Wes Bos. So I understand some modern new syntax and how to use it. Then I can always go back to a bit more basic resources after that.

Notes: Nice to start with some video tutorials a couple weeks in, most of the resources i've been reading where text based. I feel like with video tutorials I can do more of it without losing focus. Sometimes with reading after 45 / 50 min I feel a bit sluggish, with video's it isn't like that at all.
It's also because of Wes Bos his style, nice and quick paced and you can easily follow it while taking notes. I've made a new seperate repository for the course.

Notes: Finished the course faster than I expected tbh. The main takeaway is; a course is nice to get to know features and new syntax. But to really get the hang of it you just have to code and use it on the daily. It's good to know features exist and for specific syntax you can always look it up, you don't have to remember everything.

Time: 1h 01m 30s
Progress: Finished the third chapter of the 'this & Object Prototypes book'.
Notes: The first books I could get trough, they sometimes were pretty verbose but I still got some valuable nuggets out of them. After some review I could get by. But now, by reading the third book, I feel like i'm getting into deep water. I don't understand most of the concepts even after reviewing them and I feel like they are a bit to technical.
Maybe it's a good idea to quit reading for now and start doing some more video tutorials back again. Reading all the books after eachother might not be the best idea. I do want to read all of them but maybe inbetween video courses or with some time between them.
Nice change of pase to review some ES6 syntax and do a little refresher.

Progress: Started with Daniel Shiffman's video's about ES6.
Notes: Nice change of pace to do some video tutorials. I do really like the fun and fluffy presentation style of Daniel in the video's. Maybe some of the explanations aren't that technical but most of the video's are aimed to beginners. So it's a nice refresher of some concepts but they are not really that in-depth.

Notes: Cherry-picking the JavaScript video's that are about JavaScript topics I could get a refresher on. On the channel there are alot of playlist but only some are focussed on the topics I want to learn. So I'm not doing a whole playlist but only watch the video's with interesing topics.
When I'm finished I want to start watching some video's by mpj (fun fun function). Alot of people recommend them aswell.
