My goals for after I leave the basement of Turing.

Goals

Whether you're going right into a job, still job hunting, or repeating module 4 - you should work to identify goals for how you want to continue growing technically as a developer.

This could be something like 'learn GoLang', 'contribute to open source', 'improve my JavaScript abilities', 'build a weird thing'

At the end of module 3, you became a 'real developer' - so when you think about how to achieve these goals you should be thinking of them like a developer would. For example, if you walk in to an interview and say you know Go, that means you've built something in Go, not that you've taken a codeschool AND codacademy course in Go and followed along with a TODO app tutorial.

Focus on real ways you can demonstrate your learning and motivate yourself to keep at it.

Module 4 Lightning Talk Outline

Lightning Talk Module 4: Not Your Average Cover Letters

Introduction

  • Read example of my crazy cover letter with 'f bombs' that got me an interview
  • WHY does everyone hate cover letters?
  • You get to brag about YOUR achievements
  • I worked in HR before this, and we would toss applications without cover letters!

What should you avoid?

  • Copy/pasta template cover letters

Hamming

my code here

  • rpass here - Rather than explicitly defining the two strands as variables, rpass actually went ahead and passed them in which seemed to make it more streamlined.
  • mbukantz here - This is pretty similar to mine, but this guy is using a counter to track momvements.
  • nicrocs here - This method combined everything into one function - not realaly following SRP but still works!
  • toriejw here - Its Torie! Cool. Torie's is on the longer side but very easy to follow along with which I appreciate. :)
  • jingweih here - I am not entirely sure this would even work as it looks like it is missing a l

Step One: Watch Writing Testable JavaScript - Rebecca Murphey from Full Frontal 2012 (award for worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Consider the four responsibilities that Rebecca lists for client side code (hint: they're color coded).

  • Did any of the responsibilities that she lists surprise you?
  • Do you feel like you mentally split your client side code in IdeaBox and other past projects into these responsibilities?

Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

Step One: Watch Mary Rose Cook Live Codes Space Invaders from Front-Trends. (The second worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Respond to this question in your fork: What is one approach you can take from this Mary's code and implement in your project?

The Concept of Require

When you start working with WebPack for GameTime, you'll notice that you can't just define a variable in one file and find it in another as easily as you can in Rails.

Read Node.js, Require and Exports and Organize Your Code with RequireJS

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

  • In the context of Node, what is a module?
  • The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
