For our open source project, we chose the Spree library https://github.com/spree/spree/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md which is an open source ecommerce solution for Ruby on Rails. The issue chosen was https://github.com/spree/spree/issues/7734 . The issue consisted of a bug where users could promotions as they checked out an order, but the order total not limiting the discount amount to $0.  

To get started, we followed the procedures to clone down the repo. Immediately, we encountered an error on our ruby version and had to update from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 . Then, our next issue preventing us from setting up the repo successfully was installing the MySQL database; specifically, MySQL 2. 

Once we successfully cloned down the environment we found they had created several sub-environments in the Spree application. One for testing (Core) and one for spinning up your local development environment (Sandbox). Additionally, another new feature we saw was a directory structure breaking down into front-end, back-end,

function bubbleSort(list) {
  var length = list.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
      for (var j = 0; j < (length - i - 1); j++) {
        if(list[j] > list[j+1]) {
          var temp = list[j];
          list[j] = list[j+1];
          list[j+1] = temp;
        }

## M4 Reflection 

Fork this gist and answer these questions to reflect on your learning experiences. 

* What brought you to Turing?
A chance to learn skills needed for web development.

* Where do you see yourself after Turing?
Hopefully employed within 90 days of the end of mod 4. Ideally in a good position but since it will be the first gig post-Turing, I can't afford to be that selective.
