Pitch

Win your fantasy league the smart way.

Problem

In fantasy football, it can be difficult to choose what players to include on your roster on a given week. There are so many variables to consider, that it is impossible to keep track of them all in your head.

What is a Class?
- A class is a blueprint for a specific type of object. Each object has attributes (instance variables) and behaviors (methods).
What is an Instance?
- An instance is a specific example of a certain class. For example, the Person class could have instances of Fenton, Alec, and Nancy. All instances of person share the same attributes, but the values of those attributes can be different for each instance.
What is an Object?
- Everything in Ruby is an object. An object is an instance of a specific class. It can be a Class, String, Integer, Float, Array, Hash, etc. and each class of objects has unique methods that it can use to manipulate or be manipulated.
What happens when we call .new on an object?

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

Empathy has helped me become a better teacher. Firstly, it has helped me identify and meet students' emotional or physical wellness needs before meeting their academic needs. For example, any time I saw a student with their head down, I would always ask them, "Are you okay?" instead of starting with, "Put your head up." If the student was actually fine, I could always tell from their reaction when they lifted their head. However, if the student seemed unwell, I would always follow up with, "Are you sleepy? Sick? Sad? Hungry?" Just asking those four questions would let the student know that I was not mad at them for sleeping in class, but that I was interested in helping them. These types of interactions help me build relationships with students, which in turn made them want to listen to my instructions and try hard in my class.

How does empathy help you build better software?

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength is to be the mediator of a group. On this Pairin survey, my strongest characteristic in the emotional intelligence category was "Group Expert." I've previously taken a Myers-Briggs personality test and was classified as a "Mediator," which is essentially the same classification. In any group, I excel at conflict resolution. I am able to understand conflicting points of view and communicate those

A basic overview of everything I know so far about git.

A Beginner's Guide to Git

What is git?

Git is a version control software that allows us to save "snapshots in time" of files in a directory so that we can track changes over time and go back to previous versions if necessary.

Terminal Commands

Here is a list of the git commands I have learned so far:
