Matt Kaufman Goals

Matt Kaufman Module 1 Goals

  1. Stay focused for acceptable periods of time without interruption while working. In the past I've had trouble focusing without distraction. At the end of this module I'd hope to keep focused the duration required.

  2. Pay extra attention to details with my code. Keep it clean, organized and easy to read. In the past I've tended to code too quickly without thinking about cleanliness or organization.

  3. Keep well a well organized schedule and to-do list. Manage my time well enough to accomplish all of my wellness goals. Such as eating healthy and getting exercise, as well as fitting in a little fun. I'm someone who needs exercise, and it helps keep me sane.

  4. I want to focus on creating beautiful interfaces with user-friendly and intuitive design that even a small child could use. The interface should function fast and flawlessly.

CSS Positioning Challenges

###Challenge 1

Created three separate divs and put them all on the same line with inline-block. We then used float to put both div 2 and div 3 on the right side, then added a margin-left to div 3 to separate them.

Challenge 1

###Challenge 2

all three divs are in their own block, all we had to do was add float: right to div 3 and margin: auto to div 2 to center it.

  1. Apple Store - Customer assistance immidiate, getting on a list for help is quick and effortless
  2. Turbo Tax - All steps are user friendly and extremely clear. error checking is fluid.
  3. Southwest Airlines - Booking is simple, extra bags are free, rebooking is free, lining up and getting on the flight is easy. Flight attendants are friendly. Flights are more often on time. I feel cared for and not taken advantage of.
  4. Concerts at Red Rocks - The venue is beautiful and clean, staff are friendly, water is easily available, lines aren't too bad, parking is easy, getting out of the venue is easy, music is always on time
  5. MSR - I broke a tent pole and they sent me a new one that was extremely easy to replace, as well as an extra one just in case another one breaks.

Accessibility Commitments

#Matt K - Accessibility Commitments

1 - While programming, be sure to pay attention to accessability such as creating alt-tags, paying attention to layout and styling

2 - During refactoring, run app through aXe and do the best job possible to code the suggestions.

3 - During the development process, ask friends/family to use my application and test for usability. To test for cognitive impairments, possibly ask younger people to use my site and give feedback.

Git command list

git stash : 'stashes' away the work youve done since the latest commit -"HEAD"

git stash -apply : takes the latest stash from the stash list and applies it to the local working tree state, this does NOT remove the stash from the stash list, like pop

git shortlog : similar to git log, but will create a less verbose summary of the commit history - does not show actual commit IDs, only commit messages!

git commit --amend : Replace the tip of the current branch by creating a new commit - message from the last commit is used as the starting point

git reset -- hard: resets the current branch to a earlier commit - AND discards any changes that are staged for commit

Resilience Gear Up

When you first read the title of this GearUp, what were your initial reactions? What experiences have you had that shaped your attitude toward the topic?

  • I first thought the title of resilience referred to how difficult Turing can be for many people and how resilience can be culfivated. I've had experiences in college in regards to my engineering major that cultivated resilience as far as learning difficult things on my own.

What did you learn from reading the article? Did this change or affirm any attitudes and beliefs you hold?

  • I learned that a lot of people who face resilience early in life either grow up with a bunch of issues or end up becoming super resilient to change as they grow up, and become better for it.

What value do you put on personal resilience? Why?

  1. What do you hope to get out of the Turing community this module?
  • Better sense of connection with Turing as a whole
  • More technology talk rather than soft skills
  • More career contact opportunities
  1. In the past, SAB uses its meetings to discuss student survey feedback in an effort to find ways to improve student experience at Turing. How would you like to see SAB to represent you and communicate your needs this module?
  • Followup on feedback
  • Listen to all opinions
