React Router Prework

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.

Questions / Readings

Router Overview

React Router is a library that allows us to make our single page React applications mimic the behavior of multipage apps. It provides the ability to use browser history, allowing users to navigate with forward / back buttons and bookmark links to specific views of the app. Most modern sites use some form of routing. React Router exposes this functionality through a series of components. Let's start by looking at the overall structure of an app using router:

Intention Timer

What role do you typically play on a team?

Typically I am a leader on a team. In my Senior Design project in college I took on the leader role. I think I'm naturally a leader but in this project we didn't have a leader and all were equally contributing / leading our teammates.

What resources or strategies did you use when you were presented with a technical challenge?

Something that helped my group was breaking apart and doing solo research on the technical challenge and coming back together to look out our different options with how to solve.

What is one personal/professional takeaway from this project?

That you need to agree to disagree. We came across issues that could be solved two different ways and we would disucss which was better but ultimately had to choose. If my approach wasn't choosen I needed to agree to disagree and get on board to keep working on the project.

Reflect

After reading the articles above, create a gist on Github and reflect (4-6 sentences) on the following prompts.

  1. What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy has helped me many times in life, majority of which I saw when going through a difficult major in college. Surronding myself with people who had 'been there done that' made me so much more capable of completing my courses. It also made me a lot more confident in my work and my ability to preform well. Empathy also made me a great team player, I was able to empathize with people during group projects and help them overcome roadblocks I myself had gone through. This also worked vise-versa with people empathizing with me.

How To - Upload and add Images to markdown files in Gist

Markdown files allow embedding images in it. However it requires the image to be hosted at some location and we can add the url of the image to embed it.

Example: ![Alternate image text](https://someurl/imagelocation/image.png)

We can use services like imgur or other services to host the images and use the hosted URL.

  • Your key take-aways OR how you're going to implement specific points (minimum 2):
  • A key take away I get is that coding is very much up to the programer. Yes turning will put me in the right place and help me learn and collaborate with multiple coders but at the end of the day I will have to put in the extra effort (aka googling) to be able to truly excel in it.
