- 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.

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
- In the context of Node, what is a
module
? - The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
- I can explain the difference between function declarations and function expressions. Yes
- I can explain what the value of
this
is in a normal function. Yes - I can explain what the value of
this
is when called from the context of an object. Yes - I can explain how to explicitly set the value of
this
in a function. No
- I understand that functions in JavaScript can take any number of arguments. Yes
- I can describe the similarity between blocks in Ruby and anonymous functions in JavaScript. Mostly
- Where are the methods available to all arrays (e.g.
forEach
,map
, etc.) defined? prototype - I can explain the difference between using a
for
loop and theforEach
method. Sort of......

When are group members available to work together? What hours can each group member work individually? Are there any personal time commitments that need to be discussed? We prefer after school and typically not too late.
-
How will group members communicate? How often will communication happen, and how will open lines of communication be maintained? Slack group, group text
