The two articles I chose were: The Surprising (Nontechnical) Skill You Need to Succeed in Tech by The Muse and Why Aren’t We More Compassionate TED Talk by Daniel Goleman.

I think we are talking about empathy at Turing because there is a huge emphasis on the matter built into the foundations of the culture here. The reasons for this being that Turing’s goal is to train a diverse student body to succeed in high fulfillment technical careers. The only way to achieve a diverse base in any field or avenue, you have to display empathy. As this does have a large impact at Turing, I think it is applicable to the workforce as well. In order to properly convey a message or a task you have to put your feet into someone else's shoes (ie. the consumer rather than the developer). This strategy will result in the most positively received site with the greatest level of success in whatever it’s mission may be. Developing the skill of empathy is something that takes a concentrated effort. In

Reflection

1. What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

• I would say my greatest strength would be my ability to reach benchmarks or milestones via a unique path. Many people can take pre-existing paths to reach a goal from a given location. I have always forged my own and that has worked best for me. This includes reaching professional, academic and personal goals. This is not to say that help or guidance or instruction isn’t used it is just formatted in my own way.

2. How do you work best?

• I work best with a team. I know this as my most significant achievements have been in a team setting. School has always been hard for me and so I’m not entirely sure how I work best with regard to school. As far as education goes, if it is something I’m passionate about I’ll learn it!

3. What is your greatest area of improvement?

• My greatest area in need of improvement is definitely public speaking and gaining confidence, composure and a level head in public situations. I don’t want to be shy forever, i

Chapter 1 & 2 Questions

2. What is the difference between an element and a tag?

3. Why do we use attributes in HTML elements?

• Attributes tell us more about the contents of an element, such as name and value.

4. Describe the purpose of the head, title, and body HTML elements.

Beginners Guide to Git

There are a few things that are important to know while getting introduced to Git.

1. Git is a way to track changes in a project. It can be done by an individual or a group of individuals.
2. It essentially takes a snapshot of a project, the time it was changed and you can add a handy title as well. From there it allows all of those snapshots to be accessed for editing or time travel (in your code)!
3. These allow for a much easier and more effective experience making new, and editing code that is preexisting.

How to use Git

There are quite a few steps to use Git, but once you get a hang of them it's not so scary.
