I've been spending my summer doing the 100DaysOfCode challenge, and it has helped me spend a lot of time on learning app development. There is something satisfying about tweeting your progress every day, instead of celebrating the small steps forward all by yourself.
Pros:It inspires me to code (almost) every day, and it has a very supportive and diverse community.
Cons:None

I am up to day 10/100 at this point. I have a full time technology job (not code related) and an 8 month old child. Finding the time is hard, but knowing that I am going to do an hour each day allows me to set the time aside. That is time I would likely have been wasting watching TV anyway. The biggest part of this challenge for me is that it provides the motivation for me to make time to learn new skills. This is the value. It also provides references to a tonne of information and lessons if you don't have your own projects to work on or don't know where to start.
Pros:Great Framework and source of motivation, Friendly and Encouraging community.
Cons:Finding the time consistently
Even with a full time job, commiting to 1 hour of code per day is not unrealistic. I achieved so much during my 100 days: finished 3 certificates, built tons of projects, met new people, and overall had a great time.
Pros:Great way to track your progress, make great connections with awesome new people
Cons:None
The 100DaysOfCode provided me with everything I needed to become a developper:
- a wonderful community ready to help when I needed it, sharing news about the best tutos out there,
- realistic learning goals, including projects,
- discipline,
- inspiration to grow and keep learning,
- lots of tech related-news to expand my knowledge of the field,
- friends with the same goals and aspirations.
I see the challenge as an immersive experience, or an ecosystem designed to help you learn in multiple ways.
It had huge positive results for me. Thanks to all the work I had put in the challenge, I earned a scholarship for a nanodegree and for a webdev school. And it was a nice addition to my CV, I've had tons of recruiters contact me. As a result, I was able to choose a job at the company I wanted to join. Huge thanks to the creator of the challenge!
Pros:the supporting community, the motivation
Cons:can't think of any
It was this year I started using twitter more activel and quickly found about #100daysofcode. Had immediatey motivated to participate too. Because I was at my last semester at college and looking for jobs (got one in the middle of the process!) I wasnt able to keep participating (also moved to another city to start my new - and cirst - job in tech. Sadly had to give this pause but for sure going to tey again in a near future! Had an awesome experience, people are so kind and could share information and motivation on it.
Pros:Great people sharing knowledge and motivation
Cons:None.
