Title: Coding Challenges: not just for whiteboarding – Barbara Law – Lightning Talks 2021

I'm a beginner and want to share how participating in coding challenges like Advent of Code, Scrimba weekly challenges, and Codewars have increased my confidence, opened up communities and conversations for me, and brought focus to my study.

Barbara is currently transitioning into a new career as a full-stack developer from life as a stay-at-home parent to two wild little ones. When she's not solving coding challenges or building clients' sites she enjoys reading all the books, learning spoken languages, and picking up random hobbies like balloon animal twisting. https://twitter.com/BlawblawLaw https://barbaralaw.me/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawbarbara/

Music by Marc Griffin. https://soundcloud.com/marcgriffin/ https://marc-and-britt.bandcamp.com/ https://anywaysoon.bandcamp.com/

Talk recorded on 26 February 2021 as part of Virtual Coffee Lightning Talks online event. https://virtualcoffee.io/ https://twitter.com/VirtualCoffeeIO https://instagram.com/virtualcoffee.io/
