Gist Possibilities

Creating the Gist - OPTIONS

• Students could fork your base template - but then anyone with the original could easily find each fork, just like a repo. Not sure how much we care, something to consider. Maybe we prefer that because it makes it easier for staff to keep track of them?
• Students could copy and paste into a new Gist - we'd need to think through how we collect and store links, etc. if we care to access that at any given time?
• Mod teams, you decide on the above bullet points! This is a PILOT, you can't really mess it up. The point is that we get some parts wrong and learn!
• Speaking of Mod 1 students, this is what they get and do in Mod 0 related to Markdown and GitHub Gists.

Markdown Resources

You might want these as you design your template, and you might consider offering them to your students. Remember, let's keep it SIMPLE and not overwhelm them with resources. They are resourceful and can find more if needed!

Balancing Act

As a Front End Developer, you’re going to need to accurately build out the UI (User Interface) for websites based on comps provided by a designer. For your first project, you’ll re-create the Dashboard page of a small budgeting app to practice writing well structured, semantic HTML with clean, precise CSS, as well as take a first crack at adding some user interaction with JavaScript and the DOM.

Similar to what you might be asked to do on the job, we’ve given you the comps with a set of technical specs to go along with it and your challenge is to build it.

Note: DO NOT use CSS flexbox or grid for this project (If you don’t know what this is, no worries! You’ll learn more about these techniques in the coming weeks.)

CSS Grid Challenges

Work to recreate each comp using CSS Grid. There are multiple pathways to a solution for each comp!

Digging In

After having some time to predict then play around with the code, answer these questions with your partner.

1. What do you notice about the method that starts with self? When does it work? When doesn’t it? Why do you think that is?

Iteration 1

Use TDD to create an Employee class that responds to the following interaction pattern:

pry(main)> require './lib/employee'
# => true

pry(main)> bobbi = Employee.new({name: "Bobbi Jaeger", age: "30", salary: "100000"})
# => #<Employee:0x00007fdfd48af848...>

What is Express?

Express is a small framework built on top of the web server functionality provided by Node.js. It helps to simplify and organize the server-side functionality of your application by providing abstractions over the more confusing parts of Node.js, and adding helpful utilities and features.

Why do we use Express?

Think about how and why we use jQuery on the front-end. Vanilla JavaScript can be verbose and difficult to read. jQuery came along to give developers a nicer-looking syntax to perform the same operations. It was a library built to abstract the trickier parts of JavaScript and make them easier to write and work with. Express was built for very similar reasons.

Just like browser-based JavaScript, the syntax for using the plain Node http library isn't the friendliest. Node gives you enough low-level features to build the back-end of an application, but Express is a light layer built on top of Node to make these low-level features a little easi
