post	100-days-of-code-challenge	2018-01-01	programming

With a brand new year, comes a fresh start, a clean slate. I am going to begin my new year with something I have just come across: 100daysofcode challenge. I have forked the 100 days of code repo from github and am using the log to track my daily progress. It will be fun, and it will be a great way to keep me accountable for building my python knowledge. Here is an example snippet from the code I did for day 1.

Day 1:

def gen_ssh_keypair():
    """ Generate an RSA private / public keypair """
    key = RSA.generate(2048)

    # generate private key - output to file
    with open('rsa_privkey.pem', 'wb') as privkey:
        privkey.write(key.exportKey())

    # generate public key - output to file
    with open('rsa_pubkey.pem', 'wb') as pubkey:
        pubkey.write(key.publickey().exportKey())

    return 0

Day 2: Today we are going to make a Discord chat bot. Bots have always been interesting to me. Trying to make a computer program behave like a human sounds like a fun challenge, and a great way to play some fun pranks on my friends on Discord. So far, I have sketched up the initial framework in my python program using the discordpy library. I will need to learn more about the following:

• asyncio
• coroutines These seem to be two main concepts that this library uses, and it will help aid my skills in the future when making programs that focus on performance.
