I'm a Senior UI Developer at a global tech consultancy, working on crafting custom solutions for our client companies. Clients range from nascent start-ups to Fortune 10 companies.
I also volunteer as the Community Manager for the community-based FREE online educational program at 100Devs. Its mission is to provide a completely free, accessible, welcoming path to a career as a software engineer.
Current interests include Design Systems, Component Libraries, and teaching beginners.
HUNTOBER 1 week down. #100Devs WE GO GET!!
I feel like a detective :) This is so much fun!!!!!
If you share your solutions I'll share mine!! Hahaha this has been super fun, excited for week 2!
Yes, please share your code! I just commented this on twitter, but I'm very curious to see how other people approached the problems and organized their code. My code works, but I just don't really know if its close to being "clean code", or if it would make a hiring manager nauseous to read lol
This was a lot of fun. Thank you for putting it all together. I can't wait to get started on Week 2!
My daily coding challenges for Huntober 2022. Each week has a topic focus and the daily challenges build upon each other toward a final week-end result!
Are they really the same?

Off the Shelf or DIY?

Rearranging a few things
Hey! Here we are, a whole 7 days into this adventure. Thanks for joining in, it's really cool that other people want to play secret spy message decoder with me!
Welcome to String Week! We're working towards decoding a secret message by combining all our work for the week, please check out Days 1-5 before working on today's challenge.
This week our challenges all deal with Strings! As one of JavaScript's primitive data structures, Strings are critical to understand and manipulate. Feel free to use JavaScript's built-in String methods.
Oooh, yeah! Here it is, the final function you'll need in your string-decoding arsenal this week. Today's challenge might not be too trying after all the others, but you never know!
Today you'll need to create a function that swaps each letter of the alphabet for its opposite. A letter's opposite is one that, if the alphabet were flipped Z-A, would be the same number of letters in, and which would also have the opposite case.
Examples:
'A' // first letter of the alphabet, uppercase
'z' // last letter of the alphabet, lowercase
'p' // 16th letter of the alphabet, lowercase
'K' // 16th letter from *end* of alphabet, uppercase
'vCZNKOV: 0 MFNYVI LI KFMXGFZGRLM XSZMTVH'
// function replaces letters with opposites
'Example: 0 number or punctuation changes'
Do me a favor and try to solve it a couple of different ways to see which you preferred and why.
Finally! We have every function needed to decode the gobbledygook I shared a week ago! Some of you already figured it out yesterday (bravo!), but let's pretend you didn't.
Please use the daily functions, in order, to decode the week's secret message. Then, when you feel good about your result, go ahead and tweet the string with no explanation and #huntober2022, you earned it.
const encryptedMsg = "e!!Igv)t5lltBcvbdeDH3dVw!OOtI#Aa.ZMDu7WYpP^VVjDc4I50iv#ylhgmQfs"
Two things to note:
Please feel free to share your answers at each step, your code, feelings about the challenges, etc. as you please! I only ask that any spoilers have a little warning in case anyone wants to come in fresh later.
I'm torn on if I should share my code or not, as I went mostly brute force with this and the code is that of the baddie that I am. Let me know in the comments what you think I should do.
If you really want to go wild, see if you can reverse engineer an encoding sequence. A solution that fits any given string, key characters, and decoy sequence might not be as easy as it appears...
It's gonna be fun 🤓
Leon Noel's 100Devs are spending October preparing for the job hunt. Anyone who has already broken into a tech career knows that the application and interview process can be grueling! The current cohort has progressed this year all the way from basic HTML files to hosted full-stack applications with authentication and databases.
This month they'll continue to build, but will also work on data structures & algorithms, networking and interview skills, and solving code challenges.
