For the past 5 days (I started late) or so I’ve been enjoying getting myself tested an challenged by a coding challenge every morning.
Now, I’m definitely no expert programmer by any means. But I know my way around Python, C#, and a bit of Java on the side.
After all, I did study programming during my years in university (not the main focus, but it was included in my curriculum) and I’ve been honing my skill in game development over the years as a hobby.
If you have no interest in programming whatsoever, feel free to ignore this email—I’m assuming that’s most people reading this email.
But in the small chance you are, I just have to share this with you.
It’s called Advent of Code and it’s a website/event where every year leading up to Christmas, there are daily challenges being put online and you’re tasked to provide an answer—anyway you like.
No specific programming language required. I’ve even seen people do this using Excel.
But in case you like to code or you want to start learning how to code, then this is an excellent motivator and I’m glad to be able to share this with you.
I’m in no way, shape, or form affiliated with the people running the Advent of Code. I don’t get anything from convincing you to check it out.
This is purely a “I just want to let you know because I enjoy it so much” type of email.
