100 Days of Code Python Bootcamp Progress

As mentioned earlier I am checking out this course on Udemy to see if it is something worth while suggesting to my son. The first 14 days cover the basics and are labelled beginner and 14 days of coding should be doable for him, these are sessions that take 1 to 2 hours each, watching videos plus completing coding challenges. On a tangent I got to know about the html <progress> and <meter> elements and I also figured out (I hope) how to use them on WordPress. The <progress> and <meter> elements are very similar but as the name suggests the <progress> element is meant to track progress, while the <meter> element is a measure. For example, if you are going on a multi day hike then the <progress> element could be used to track your distance covered, going fro, 0 (start) to 100% (finish). If you would want to show the available disk space on your computer you would use the <meter> element as the available space doesn’t progress simple from 0 to 100% in a linear fashion. The <meter> element is also more versatile. The <progress> element only has the value and max attributes, while the <meter> element also has min, low, high and optimum attributes. These attributes, together with the value will then determine the colour of the meter bar depending on if the value is in the optimum range or not. You can find more details about <meter> and <progress> on w3schools. In this post I am adding an html block using the <progress> element to visualise how far I got in the course so far.
