Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

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?

I've learned that almost the entire industry says it strives for agile practices, but ultimately ends up using a waterfall approach. There are many factors -- but mostly funding and a desire to not show an imperfect project -- that effect everyone's work cycle.

Project: Number Guesser

Group Member Names: Hindreen and Katie

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):

We want to finish the project with all of the "proficient" standards and as many "exceptional" standards as time allows, improve our understanding of the concepts involved, and both be able to explain all components of the project. Success also includes strong communication.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):

Activity 1

Pick out 3 behaviors that resonate with you in the list and describe why they resonate with you in a reflection (4-6 sentences).

• Use Google very aggressively
  This idea resonates with me because it tells me that, fundamentally, programmers are not expected to perfectly memorize everything. It is an admission that we just cannot remember everything, and are allowed and encouraged to depend on resources when we need them. It is okay to reserve our brainpower for deeper stretegic thinking and project planning at the expense of knowing all of a language or application in fine detail. I expect that the fine details will eventually begin to stick, through sheer repetition, but appreciate the upfront declaration that there is no shame in using good resources.
• Always analyze the clues found in error messages
  This behavior resonates not because I already understand error messages, but because of the sentiment that error messages aren't our enemy or a reflection on the programmer as a human being. As

Git, as I understand it today

Git is a distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005. Torvalds created Git to work on the Linux kernel, with focus on speed and data integrity. Torvalds is credited as saying:

Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.

Additional facts about Torvalds include:
