Module 2 Week 2

Assess your habits from week 1: how did you spend your time this past week? What was effective in your habits? What could be more effective? What steps will you take to make that happen?
With a heavy workload in our paired project I found myself neglecting certain habits that I wanted to focus on. I found myself extremely focused and obsessive about ciriculum, but definitely narrowed my focus towards working on finishing our project. I hope to spread out my focus and energy to make sure I am looking out for my personal growth in all areas while maintaining healthy habits outside of Turing. I will ensure to make more time for myself and also work to improve my morning scheduling.

Write a draft of your professional story here as 1-2 paragraphs. Focus on answering the questions who are you, why are you here, and what’s next? Consider how to talk about your motives and values, the turning points that led to your career change, and what you envision for yourself going forward.

Module 2 Week 3

Assess your habits from week 2: how did you spend your time this past week? What was effective in your habits? What could be more effective? What steps will you take to make that happen?

Week 2 was full of plent of work and not much extra time. My self care lacked slightly, but felt really accomplished in regards to my project work and progress in this Mod. Again, I think my time and focus could be split up more efficiently and working on improving my mornings will be key this week.

Reflect on how you’ve spent your time so far at Turing to gauge your engagement and energy:

When have you been excited, focused, and enjoyed your work? When have you felt bored, restless, or unhappy? When do you feel energized in your work? When is your energy drained? My energy and focus specifically surrounding learning a new topic has never been in a better place. However, burn out and troughs of sorrows still do occur naturally. I find myself extremely energized when in a rhythym and have

Module 2 Week 4

1. Prepare for Job Experience: AEIOU Activities: what questions do you have about the activities that a software developer does on a daily basis?
   

• What a daily workload looks like. Here in Turing we take on a lot of work and are often thrown into the fire and must simply get out alive. In the real world you are most certainly expected to deliver quality work that is professional and thorough. What does that workload look like? I am under the impression that the projects we work on at Turing are short turn around items and would never exist in such a quick manner in the real world. Is that the case? Additionally, how much improvisation exists on the job. I assume / hope you are still learning everyday.
  Environment: what questions do you have about the overall environment and culture of this workplace?
  

• What are some expectations you had about the industry that were struck down or surprisingly absent?
  
• What norms were a pleasant surpise or new that you found bene

Module 2 Week 5

Review your habit tracker: how did you monitor your habit(s)? What does this tell you about your overall progress becoming the person you want to be? In general, how satisfied are you with how you spent your time this module? What could be improved next module?

• I have implemented a habit tracker. I am satisfied with my production specific to the Turing curriculum, however I would like to become a bit more active on my approach to finding a career path starting with Module 3. I think my intensity can ramp up, and I want to focus heavier on my habits and forming a new person out of my current self. Iterating, building upon new habits that add to my overall discipline.

MOD 3 PREWORK QUESTIONS

What is a "data model", and how does it relate to the DOM in a front-end application?

• The data model is the most true state of your application or data. In relation to the DOM, the Document Object Model will be the forward facing object that reflects the current version of your data.
  

What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"

• A library is a set of code that was previously written, that can be called upon when building your own code.. Typically collections of codes that can be used and packaged together..
  
• An example of a library could be chai.. Typical syntax is a require statement.
  
• The biggest use-case for libraries seems to be reusability and efficiency for problems that are often met when creating programs.
  
• Another example I have seen is the use of an email-validator library that allows a quick require. This standard and common problem that is often found in the IOT is something that has been tackled and
