Advent of Code (AoC) is an advent calendar for programmers, where each day of December you are provided with a new problem to solve with a language of your choice. Each year has a fantastic plot and story line you can follow along with as you solve each days challenge.
Every day for 25 days this month you have small programming challenges that you need to solve to complete the "tree" and help the elves with their mission. Each day, the questions get a little bit harder to really push you to learn and improve your programming skills.
We have created a special area for the ZTM community to share their solutions and code each day, see what others have done, and vote for your favourite solution. We even have a leaderboard!
This event starts December 1st, 2022 but you can join anytime. Solutions submitted on the day of the puzzle reveal will receive extra points!
- Go to https://adventofcode.com/ and start with problem #1! Each day starting Dec 1st, 2022 a new problem will be unlocked but you have to do them in order! You can discuss all Advent of Code related topics this month in our #advent-of-code channel on Discord.
- In case you get stuck, I made some lectures available for free preview for you to show you how I solve one of the problems and the steps I take. Simply go to the Complete Web Developer in 2023: Zero to Mastery and check out the lectures (Exercise: Santa's Node Helper and Solution: Santas Node Helper). Even if you are not enrolled in the course these two videos have the free preview option enabled.
- Once you finish one puzzle/question, you can share your code and solution with the community, or check out what others in the ZTM community have done. You can even vote on your favourite solutions! You can follow this video on how to submit your solution.
- Check out the leaderboard and see how you compare: https://aoc.zerotomastery.io/leaderboard
Remember: You can discuss all AOC related topics in our #advent-of-code channel on Discord!
