Mod 2 Week 1 Gear Up Make Up

  1. What is your understanding of gender, gender identity, and biological sex? Is there anything more you need to learn?

Gender is the social norms put on women and men that have formed through culture and history. Gender identity is how the individual decideds to define their gender regardless of the social norms forced on them. Biological sex describes an individual as male or female based on sexual organs, hormones, and genes at birth. As the definition of gender changes, I need to stay respectful of people's decisions. I do need to learn how to be increasingly respectful although I may not be educated. To be honest, how other people define their gender doesn't bother me, but I am not educated on the different genders and if I am creating software for all kinds of genders, I need to be aware of the most inclusive language and assumptions to provide everyone with the same human experience.

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?

The key to me is ALWAYS revisiting the requirements. I go into this more when I talk about project management below but my opinion is as a project progresses in waterfall it is more difficult to consistently compare the project against the requirements. Considering that requirements can be confusing and hard to explain, different people may interpret requirements in different ways. In agile the whole group seems to review requirements consistently, which in industry can find problems with the requirements quicker allowing for th

Beginners Guide to Git

Beginners Guide to Git

What is git?

Git is the most widely used version control system (VCS) meaning that it tracks changes to files including what changed, who changed it, and why they changed something. Using the command line of computers terminal you can use git commands to control the versions of local files. We will go over these commands later. Using the proper git workflow can ensure a reliable history of your files. Git primarily works locally on your computer and does not need to access a server to retrieve history making it a quicker option in terms of version control systems.

What are the git commands?

This section introduces and gives a quick description of each command.
