This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.
There are a bunch of JavaScript frameworks out there to use. At Turing, we choose to teach React - it's one of the most popular frameworks out there. Actually, a lot of developers will call React a library, which it is...but it can also be described as a framework. It's a little confusing, but the lines are blurred for React. Let's just say that React is a library with some rules and conventions to follow.

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
I actually love the concept of practicsing/developing empathy in everyday life, because it's a very mindful practice. I feel like I am always trying to be mindful in everyday life, not only about what it is I'm doing, but also how I'm affecting or interacting with others. When I'm not being actively mindful, I feel like I have been acting like a zombie, or someone who is sleep-walking, losing precious time from my finite life. Practising empathy for others is a crucial element here, because if you neglect feeling for others, you become really lonely and isolated.
