Top 10 Links-Monthly Post 3
March 01, 2019
Welcome back to my 3rd post in Top 10 Useful Links series. This month after much difficulty I decided this 10 links amongst a lots of useful sites I have read. This time I have followed the same format, but with a slight change. Web Development Section comes before the Web Security Section because of my recent interest in this field.
Okay!!!, lets get straight into the main stuff.
Web Development
1. Medium Post
As said in my last post about “100DayOfCode”, this is a continuation to that. Reading this post, you will learn a way to boost your confidence, steps to stop procrastinating things and to overcome your own resistance. Beginning to code and making it as a practice? you will often face a lot of resistance. Because you are developing a new habit. In my personal experience, I have been coding daily for at least 1hr for the past 75 days (the time I am drafting this post) overcoming a lot of resistance and being less prone to procrastinating important things.
