Coding Challenges

Note: This repository is based on Coding Challenges - John Crickett

This repository is a weekly coding challenge. These are challenges that I’ve used or am using as exercises to learn a new programming language or technology.

Each challenge will have you writing a full application or tool. Most of which will be based on real-world tools and utilities.

The challenges are picked to be small enough to be completed in your spare time over a week or two and yet large enough to be complete working projects.

• Learning Journey: For each challenge, I dive into an introductory overview, followed by any necessary background information. This approach ensures a well-rounded understanding and sets the stage for the coding task ahead.
• Validation: Upon completing each challenge, I follow detailed instructions or scripts to test and validate my solutions, ensuring functionality and reliability.

My Goals

• Skill Advancement: Through consistent practice and exploration of new territories in programming and technology, I aim to elevate my proficiency and adaptability as a software engineer.
