If you will not be able to complete your journal this week, please provide an update for the Career Dev team on when you’ll have it completed here (remember to reflect on what you have control over, what you want to try differently this week, and what habits you can utilize to get back on track):
Find a position or use a position you’ve put on your Huntr board and write a cover letter for that position in a Google doc or gist. Reference these cover letter resources as well as the session to complete your cover letter.
Refine your career vision: What are the values that will drive your job search? What are your goals for your job search? What kind of role do you see yourself pursuing in your job search? Based on your latest version of your career vision, list the top 3-5 industries and companies you’ll pursue in your job search as of right now. Why did you pick these industries/companies? How do they relate to the values and goals you have for yourself in your job search?
In terms of values, I don't want to be in an industry I have no care for whatsoever or does not resonate with me as a person. Being a developer for a home inspection company or a gym for example gives me no joy. At their core, I would like to think that my values are humanistic in that I want to help people in meaningful ways. Since a lot of my personal experiences are from living abroad, some type of job dealing with education and exposure to different ideas and culture would be interesting. As far as potential industries, I th
This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson.
The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.

Group Member Names: Naomi Ware, Horacio Borrego, Linus Leas
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
We would like to achieve a base level of understanding of how React works. Naomi would like to have more familiarity using the API in terms of fetch requests, as would Linus and Horacio. Success is determined in how we each understand and can describe eachother's code and if we can get to iteration 3/reach full functional
Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):
Horacio is agreeable in terms of work styles, and has a good understanding of CSS and responsiveness in app design. Naomi prefers paired/group work and likes to discuss through concepts before implementation, and is strong in debugging. Linus is also strong in debugging and is good at seeing control flow. His preference is also in

What is a "data model", and how does it relate to the DOM in a front-end application?
A data model is a repository of all of the information we may want to hold for our application. The DOM is the representation of the data model that is accessbile to users via their browswer.
What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"
As one person put it, the library is the mother, the framework is the father; frameworks generally have more rules and restrictions of where to use their code. Additionally, frameworks will eventually need to reference or 'ask' its library at some point in order for it to do anything with it. A library on the other hand is readily accessible no matter most situations and we can directly reference its functionality.
Why should we consider using a framework over vanilla JS like you have been doing in mods 1 and 2?
The main purpose of a framework is so that it keeps the UI in sync with the

Mod 2 Week 1: Building Habits to Become a Software Developer, Part II
Reflect on your habits from last module. What behaviors and activities were helpful for you? What activities and behaviors could be more effective for you? What processes would you like to try differently this module to become more effective at your work and as a software developer?
Pre-studying was very helpful and overall just being prepared and ready to go when classes start. Helping other classmates on problems also helped solidify concepts for me. I would like to get better sleep though as it was hard to concentrate without it
Setting intentions for this module: who do I want to be this module? What specific habits would help me get there? How are those habits tied to the identity of a software developer?

Project: FitLit Refactor Group Project
Group Member Names: Leigh Larson, Steph Norton, Linus Leas
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
For Leigh, she would like to get more familiar with tools like SASS and webpack, and writing accessible code. Additionally she would like to gain more experience in terms of working with real world projects. As for Steph, she would like to improve her refactoring skills, and getting familiarized with the new tools as well. Linus's goals are similar in that he would like a deeper understanding in the new technologies being implemented as well as having more experience with general project developement practices.
Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):
Leigh is a leader and a hard worker to a fault. Technically, she is good with CSS and HTML and is apt at aq
