Module 0 Professional Development Pre-Work

What is the value of a checklist?

Checklists and To-Do lists are highly valuable to stay organized. They ensure you have a list of all your tasts and don't just rely on your possibly mistaken memory. They are also useful to help you prioritize your workload and remember specific details you want to ensure you don't forget. I write more To-Do lists than I have actual checklists but, after learning about some good apps during Moe 0, I am working on utilizing Checklists with the help of those apps.

What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?

Aside from significantly increasing my technical knowledge and coding skills, I have a few things I would like to improve upon during my time at Turing. During Mod 0, we learned that there are some specific things that will contribute to our success like our study habits. I am getting better at setting time goals. I am allocating at least a specific chunk of time to work on my homework so I can balance daily prac

Beginner's Guide to Git

Git is the most popular Version Control System (VCS) for software development. It is used to keep track of changes to files and projects over time. It can be used just locally in the terminal or, in conjunction with GitHub, it can be used for remote collaboration.

Git starts off with a project repository. A repo is a folder with Git tracking turned on which means it will allow tracking of all the files and folders in and under that main repo folder. Because Git is focused on managing the changes, it is often used to allow multiple contributors to work on files at the same time. When changes are saved, a snapshot is taken of the entire project as a commit which will also have a commit message as an annotation of what changes are taking place with that commit. This gives the ability to search through the project history and undo any problematic bugs or remove unwanted features.
