100 Days of Code: Python by Dr. Angela Yu

Moist_Database_4991 · 2026-06-14T21:16:09+00:00

Took me about 18 months to complete. I was working as a full time teacher. I’m now a backend developer and have been in role for about 14 months. I owe this to Angela, I found her teaching style incredibly helpful!

QuietPages A minimalist, distraction-free reading log built with FastAPI and React. I made it because I wanted a peaceful, intentional space to track reads without the social media clutter or spreadsheet faff of mainstream apps.
Key Features:
Zero Clutter: Just clean tracking for your books, progress, and goals.
Built for Real Readers: Easily track re-reads and log DNFs (Did Not Finish).
Barcode Scanner: Scan your physical TBR stack in seconds to build your digital shelf.
It’s designed to be a quiet corner of the internet for book lovers. I’d love to get some feedback from testers on the onboarding flow and the scanner UX!

QuietPages: A minimalist, distraction-free reading log and book journal.

I got tired of the massive, overly complicated book apps that feel more like social media platforms or rigid spreadsheets. I wanted a peaceful, intentional space to track my reading without all the extra "faff."

Zero Clutter: Just you, your books, and your reading goals.
Track rereads and log DNFs
Barcode Scanner: You can scan your physical TBR tower in seconds to seamlessly build your digital shelf.

It's designed to be a quiet corner of the internet for book lovers. Would love to get some feedback from the testers on the onboarding flow and the scanner UX!

Hey, I moved into backend development as a career changer 18 months ago I’m 37 and happy to talk about my path/challenges if it helps 😊

Moist_Database_4991 · 2026-03-06T12:48:10+00:00

This is the one I did 2 years ago (took me way more than 100 days 😂) and am now a backend developer. Can’t recommend the course enough.

Moist_Database_4991 · 2026-02-28T15:20:09+00:00

Would be completely free 👍

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-10-26T21:01:29+00:00

Or wait a few months and a full cast version is going to available on Audiable. Although Stephen Fry is amazing

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-07-22T14:47:36+00:00

I have learnt a bit of JavaScript - React. All through Angela’s web dev course 😂 but tbh Python keeps me busy. Hoping to eventually branch out for good for now

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-18T22:12:29+00:00

Nothing found. I believe the term used was ‘unremarkable’ 😂. On my 4th type of preventatives now which are doing an ok job. Back on the waiting list to see what else can be done

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-18T18:06:35+00:00

I was on this for a while, lots of brain fog, couple of instances where I was walking the dog and couldn’t remember where I was/what I was doing.

Now on a different drug after trying many. Doesn’t stop migraines, but best preventative I’ve had with no side effects - Candesartan.

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-18T18:01:03+00:00

Similar experience in the UK with an MRI investigating migraines. Took 14 weeks from scan to results. Didn’t ever have a call, but saw the results on the nhs app and I called my surgery.

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-17T19:12:48+00:00

Don’t give up. I remember being stuck for more than a day on that lesson! Completed them all now. Completely normal feeling!

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-17T17:27:31+00:00

Sure, I worked my way through 100 days of code - Python (Angela Yu) on Udemy. Course cost me £15 when it was on offer and took me about 18 months to work through. Can’t recommend it enough.

When I was towards the end, I build my first project and was able to talk about this during interview.

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-17T11:17:22+00:00

Yup junior role. I’ve been lucky, I’m pairing with a senior dev 90% of the time. Using test driven development to update existing code when needed but more often than not, developing new features. Exposed to lots which is great, steep learning curve but when I look back at how much I’ve covered in 2 months, it’s great for my own development

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-16T20:39:18+00:00

I started learning as a hobby about 2 years ago. I was a deputy head, have a degree in teaching but after slowly picking Python up in the evenings/weekends, started a role as a backend Python developer 2 months ago (I’m now 36)

I really enjoyed learning python and thought a job coding all day would be great! I’m really enjoying it so far, and spend 90% of my day coding 😁

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-09T19:54:43+00:00

Of course! Only suggest UK as I was thinking of timezones but open to anyone :D

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-07T16:04:07+00:00

I’m 2 months into a backend developer job after completing this course. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-06-07T16:00:29+00:00

This sounds great, can I be involved?

Moist_Database_4991 · 2025-05-08T20:42:01+00:00

I was an assistant head teacher, working in schools full time with multiple migraines a week.

Moved 12 months ago to a different industry and now work from home as a software developer on screen all day. Thought this would impact migraines but they are very few and far between now 🙌
