Hour Of Code: Check... Now What?



I wrote the code myself with Code.org. If you want the bird to FLAP when you CLICK the mouse, you can do that by attaching the 'FLAP' block to the appropriate event handler, and now in your game whenever you click the mouse, the bird will flap. The crowdfunding effort for Hour of Code received the highest amount of funding ever raised on Indiegogo. By October 2014, about forty million students had taken the Hour of Code class, and a second Hour of Code was held in December 2014. That year, locations for Hour of Code lessons included Apple retail stores.

When the Check Engine Light comes on, that means that Trouble Codes, likely identifying the causes of the issue you are having, have been stored in your car’s computer. The fastest way to resolve this is to have a Check Engine Light Diagnostic performed to obtain those Codes and start to track down the possibilities. Such a Diagnostic can be done by a certified Mechanic from YourMechanic on a mobile basis. The Codes are downloadable using a scanner and they should indicate at least the general area of the fault. A possibility is that some engine management system has a poor electrical connection or other wiring problem that is evidencing itself only intermittently. But, there are other possible causes of intermittent illumination of the Check Engine Light such as failures in engine sensors, intermittent misfires, and faults with sticky or stuck valves such as in the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system or the EVAP system. The best thing to do is get a Check Engine Light Diagnostic and then it will be clearer as to what segment of the engine controls needs to be looked at in more detail.

Code Time is an open source plugin for automatic programming metrics and time tracking. Get the most advanced time tracker for Visual Studio Code that will save you time, so you can focus more on what matters.

Join a community of over 100,000 data-informed developers. Discover best code times, defend code time, see the impact of meetings, and improve work-life balance. Track and visualize all of your projects, or export your data to connect to your billing and timesheet tools.

Getting started

1. Create your account

Creating an account helps you keep track of your coding data and gives you access to advanced data visualizations in the Code Time web app. Under Account, select Sign up to create a new account, or Log in to sign into an existing account.

The Code Time web app also includes settings you can customize, such as your work hours and office type, for advanced time tracking. You can also connect Outlook or Google Calendar to visualize your code time vs. meetings in a single calendar.

You can connect multiple code editors on multiple devices using the same email account. Your code time data will sync automatically across your devices.

2. Track your progress during the day

Your status bar shows you in real-time how many hours and minutes you code each day. A rocket will appear if your active code time exceeds your daily average on this day of the week.

Boost productivity

Flow automations make it easy to eliminate distractions, mute notifications, and stay focused when you are in flow.

You can quickly toggle Zen mode, enter full screen, and hide your Dock. If you connect a Slack workspace, you can also pause notifications, update your profile status, and set your presence to away.

Check...

Clicking an active flow automation again will reverse the original action, so you can resume receiving notifications or reset your Slack status without leaving Visual Studio Code.

Track development metrics

Your coding stats can help you understand how you are improving over time. You can also see how you stack up against the Software community.

To see an overview of your coding activity and project metrics, open the Code Time panel by clicking on the Code Time icon in your side bar.

Your code time is the total time you have spent in your editor today. Your active code time is the time you spend actively writing and editing code in your editor or IDE. It captures periods of intense focus and flow.

Each metric shows how you compare today to your average and the global average. Click Today vs to switch between them. Each average is calculated by day of week over the last 90 days (e.g. a Friday average is an average of all previous Fridays).

To view additional coding stats, you can generate a Code Time summary and dashboard. At the end of your first day, open Code Time in your side bar and click Dashboard to open your personalized dashboard in a new editor tab. Your dashboard summarizes your coding data—such as your code time by project, lines of code, and keystrokes per minute—today, yesterday, last week, and over the last 90 days. Click Project summary to see a breakdown of your stats by project.

Data visualizations

Click More data at software.com in the Code Time side bar or visit app.software.com to see more advanced data visualizations. You will need to create a free Software account to use the web app. In the Code Time dashboard, you will be able to track:

Active code time. Visualize your daily active code time. See productivity trends compared to weekly and monthly averages. See how you stack up against the Software community of over 100,000 developers.

Top projects. See how much time you spend per project per week. Get a breakdown of your top projects right in your dashboard.

Work-life balance. Connect your Google Calendar to visualize meeting time versus code time. See how much coding happens during work hours versus nights and weekends so you can find ways to improve your work-life balance.
