CSS Layout Challenge!

For all challenges, I styled the divs to be a certain height and width, set background to black, and text to white.

Challenge 1

I included divs 2 and 3 in a section container and floated that to the right, after setting each div to inline-block

Strengths & Storytelling Reflection Guidelines

• Look at your initial StrengthsFinder reflection that you completed in week 1 -- how have your perceptions of the top 5 themes stayed the same? How have they changed?

I think they've more or less stayed the same, but understanding my strengths has helped me embrase these qualities. Because the strengths finder indicated that I am an includer, I've been thinking about how to best grow into this quality. I've been initiating conversations with classmates on how things are going, if they need a sounding board or code review. Learner, Analytical, Intellectual...are all things I value in my personality. But I feel they've formed someone that often times can be over-analystical, and not in-the-moment. Through this understanding and reflection, I've been able to conciously force myself into appreciating the moment I'm in, who I'm with, and what I'm doing.

• How are you different today than when you first started at Turing? How are you stronger now than on day 1?

DTR: Define the Relationship

• Project:

2DoBox Pivot

• Group Member Names:

Nick Svetnicka & Christie Lynam

• Project Expectations:

Nick: I am hoping to get more experience using GitHub. This includes creating an issues list and always developing on branches to better understand the merge and conflict resolution process. I also am hoping to do a mix of pair programming and either side by side or solo development, to build more muscle memory by driving. On my last 2 projects I was more of the navigator, and feel that it should be more balanced, so both partners get experience in both roles.

Reflection on Agile Practices/Project Management Used in Projects

One agile practice I tried to bring into each project was the idea of breaking down the project into smaller, more discrete components, which get implemented to completion before moving on to other components. This helped satisfy each phase of the project requirements knowing they were completed before moving on to the next.

Another practice exercised with pair projects was to be sure that through the DTR, we defined any adjustments to the standard process, or process I was accustomed to using was evaluated and adjusted based on my partner's work style.

For each project, a backlog of issues was created, which was maintained throughout the project to reflect the current state of development, and any future requirements for that phase.

While it's difficult with short projects to go through a typical sprint cycle, I feel that many agile approaches to development were employed on my projects. The only thing I may change for future pro

Feedback III Reflection

• What are you doing well as a pair programmer and collaborator? How do you use your strengths as a team member?

Given that I came into Turing with prior development experience, I've been continually looking for ways to pay this forward. In this regard, I've made an attempt in each of my group projects to avoid individual contributions in favor of in-person pair programming. I've also tried to take the role of the teacher whenever I feel I know what direction to go with the task. Lastly, instead of simply providing the answers, I've given small hints to nudge my partner towards the right direction of thinking.

• How would you like to continue to develop your strengths?

I will continue to step into this teacher role whenever I can in a group project. And outside of any project based work, I will strive to leverage my 'includer' strength by ensuring that when there is cohort based discussions or learning happening, everyone feels like they are welcome to the discussion, and the

Feedback II Reflection

• Date of feedback conversation:

July 11th

• How did you prepare for the conversation?

I prepared by reflecting back to how the project went as a whole, and any struggles we went through along the way. I looked at how we approached the project, including any prep/setup work. I also thought about how we started and ended each pair programming session, thinking about any additional steps we could have taken. Lastly I thought about any areas of improvement that I could pass along for not only my partner, but for myself to improve upon in the future.

Personal Project Specification

Nick Svetnicka - Mod 3 - FE1705

Project Name: snorlab (codename)

TLDR:

• I am proposing to build an advanced reminder and task tracking app which slowely unlocks features as more tasks/reminders are completed, in which the user levels up. There are several 'fun', non-functional rewards also granted upon completing tasks/reminders. This creates incentive for the user to continually use the app, as rewards are forever granted for completing tasks, creating an infinite level system.
