What have you done this week to work toward becoming that person?

What habits, processes, and knowledge have you identified this week that you will need to improve on or obtain in order to become that person?

What wins or appreciations do you have for this past week?

Turing School of Software & Design Front End Module 3 Pre-work

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

LIBRARIES

• have fewer rules
• As a developer we call on libraries to utilize pre-written code that can be used over again repeatedly.
• Libraries are a collection of class definitions designed with code reuseability in mind.

FRAMEWORKS

• have more rigid rules

# Agile & Feedback Reflection Guidelines
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:

1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? 

2. How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?

3. What role did you take on in the project?

Step 3

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

• My greatest strength is my ability to teach myself. In my previous career as a professional brewer, I was completely self-taught. Through serious motivation, persistence, trial-and-error, lots of hard work (hours upon hours spent behind a boiling pot), and a pile of books + a googolplex of Google searches, I had finally acquired enough knowledge to brew professionally. This knowledge continued to grow and develop into new techniques, better and more efficient processes, and more consistent finished products, throughout my entire brewing career. The one place that I realized I cannot succeed is in a place where I feel stagnant, and like I am no longer learning.

How do you work best?

• I work best when there is much exploration to be done. I work best when there are clear objectives and goals, paired with a little infrastructure. I work best when I am motivated to find
