🌟 Day 2 — From Code to Website (Yes, It's Live!)

Today was full of firsts — I launched my very first website, and I also got into typecasting, macros, and more in C++. Feels good to actually do stuff instead of just watch.


💻 What I Did Today

🔷 C++

  • Studied Type Casting – implicit and explicit

  • Learned about #define Macros and const

  • Covered operator types: arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment

🐍 Python

  • Went through data types and variables

  • Observed how Python handles types dynamically

🌐 Web Development

  • Built and launched a tiny website using:

    • HTML for structure

    • CSS for basic styling

    • JavaScript for a little interaction

  • It's simple, but it’s online — and that feels cool.

💸 Monetization (sort of)

  • Skipped the full session

  • But listened to a 10-minute podcast on online income — so at least it wasn’t a total skip


🔗 GitHub Pushes

Updated:

  • cpp-practice: added operator and macro files

  • python-vault: basic notes + examples

  • web-dev-start: my first ever live site code

Green squares are showing up. Small wins.


🧠 Today’s Takeaway

  • Typecasting finally makes sense

  • Seeing code on a real webpage is exciting

  • Even doing a little is better than skipping completely


📌 Next Steps

  • Keep going in C++: next up is input/output and conditionals

  • Try building a basic page layout with HTML

  • Light Python practice — maybe if/else or loops

  • Try to do at least 30 mins of monetization tomorrow


That’s it for today. Tired, but glad I showed up.
Logged and done.
