The first days after my Pain and suffering Challenge went well. Beside the regular running and the workout I started to learn programming. I have tested some finished bots with "python" and noticed that it is not as easy as I thought. I had problems with the Notes.
So I decided to start with Javascript first. After a little research on what JS actually is, I registered at https://www.freecodecamp.org/ and edited the jQuery section. Currently I'm at the beginning of the section "Basic JavaScipt".
However, besides learning, I also started programming myself. I can only recommend the free e-book http://jsforcats.com/ to everyone! It's pretty awesome for starters. It takes about 2-3 hours to process everything and you get a super simple overview of JS.
At the same time I was looking for JS bots for Steemit and came across for some like https://github.com/Steem-FOSSbot/steem-fossbot-voter.
After some research I downloaded Nodejs and started to create an upvotebot with npm steem.
After some time I realized how annoying it is when you make mistakes, not knowing exactly what the original condition was. In addition, most manuals use Linux as their operating system. So I installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine and set it up again. I can only say that all takes a long time.
Now, however, I can reset the system again and again to an earlier condition.
The water in Germany is getting colder and colder and I will go swimming again in the next days:)
