In interviews, you'll be asked about how you approach working in projects, and being able to describe how you utilize agile processes is a great way to help you stand out as a junior developer candidate. This reflection is meant to help you develop this skill.

With that in mind, please answer the following questions in your own gist about your group project:

• What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
  • Agile is a software development project management style that favors quick sprints where between each sprint there is user interaction and continuous development, testing and importantly, user interaction.
  • Waterfall is a much longer, slower process. It involves all pieces of the software development life cycle but without any user input until the very final project is done. Making it much more difficult to use if a user ever wants anything changed in a project.

Growing up, life wasn't easy. Living in a very low income area and in an even lower status made the idea of following the traditional route of going to college to learn a thing much more difficult. I always knew tech was the way I wanted to go, from a fascination with aircraft and aviation through to eventually building and tinkering with anything related to computers. My adoration for tech was often met with questions from family and friends about "what will you do with that?" or "How will you afford to go to school for that?"

Most often I would respond with "I don't know, I just think it's cool." I didn't realize until a few years out of high school, bored out of my mind in engineering courses in community college, that there was another option for me. Insert the military. It answered most of my problems at the time. It gave me a way to work in and around tech and aviation, many times at the same time. I started out working with LAN/WAN and Linux based devices and systems as an Early Warning Systems Operat

Outreach & Networking Plan As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your current network. Describe:

• Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about
  • I want to contact a friend of mine who I haven't talked to in several years. I'll ask him about cycling because I've noticed he has started doing that. I'll also talk to him about other things, like some of our other mutual friends.
• When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

• Contact by the end of Mod 2. Meeting will be nearly impossible since they live in Connecticut, but some kind of video conferencing tool would work the be

Project Reflection

• What is one thing that went unusually well during this project?

• I said it in my other feedback and I'll repeat it here, but communcation. Will was always communicative and able to knock out things we assigned him in a timely manner. Also planning was a huge win for our group. Mostly because everyone was willing to do what needed to be done to meet project goals.

CarRep

Pitch

Web application that works in a way similar to Waze, but allows user to apply weather data instead of things like accidents, bad traffic or construction. Basically taking the idea of a Pilot Report(PiRep) in aviation and implementing it for driving a car.

Features

• Pinning a map
• Geolocation
