| ## Let's set up our dotfiles | |
| ### Part 1: Set up your dotfile repository | |
| 1. cd to your root directory (cd) | |
| 2. create a dotfiles directory (mkdir dotfiles) | |
| 2.5 run (git init) to initialize it as a git repository | |
| 3. run either a (touch .zsh_profile.zsh) file or a (touch .bash_profile) file | |
| - zsh/bash depends on your shell. run (echo $SHELL ) in order to find out what shell you have | |
| - if you already have a {zsh,bash}_profile file in your root directory, copy over the contents |
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.
A framework has more rules and conventions to follow than a library. It may require you to name files a certain way. A framework also differs from a library in that it calls your code.

As we begin to write more complex applications it is not possible to maintain User Interface with vanilla javascript alone. To quote the article by Alberto Gimeno, "It is not possible to write complex, efficient and easy maintain UIs with Vanilla JavaScript."

Not all dragons breathe fire and live in mountain caves. Some dragons are coding challenges and are slayed with functions. This story involves a dragon of that type.
Write a function that takes an Array of Strings. This function should return an array of the same strings that were in the original array. However, the returned array should hold the strings in reverse alphabetical order.
var words = ['hi', 'hello', 'carrot', 'world'];
reverseAlphaWords(words);
// => ['world', 'hi', 'hello', 'carrot']
Throughout the many jobs I have had, I have been part of many diverse teams. Empathy has played a huge role in working with others toward a common goal in these situations. When I was younger, say high school, I would not have considered myself a very empathetic person. Through my early 20’s though I developed more self-awareness and realized this was an area I needed to improve in. This skill has helped me in every relationship I have had both professional and personal. The ability to understand where someone else is coming from and what they are feeling is vital to working towards a common goal

I believe my greatest strength is my ability to keep an optimistic outlook and persevere through challenges. I know this because it has been tested throughout my personal, professional and educational life. I have had many setbacks that have slowed me down or changed my course but I always remain positive about the end goal and work towards it. I also believe that in team environments my ability to look on the bright side and keep things fun has helped others to persevere.
I work best on challenges that have parameters but also allow the ability to improvise. I especially enjoy working with teams on larger projects in which we do our own individual tasks but collaborate on the project. I work best on projects that have timeframes and deadlines but a
