This is a guide to keep you busy over intermission. What you choose to do here will be highly dependant on what you need to review, ramp up on, or learn.
You don't HAVE to do any of this. You will not be graded, but most likely there are some things here you SHOULD do. I would suggest you do something over break to keep the rust off. At this point you are almost finished with Turing, and you should be a self-sustainable learner. That means you should be able to judge what you need to do. Here is what I would suggest:
- Redoing, or doing something much like the mid-mod is good practice for everyone.
- Everyone could benefit from the Feature Testing JS with Selenium in Rails Lesson. It's a really easy setup, just make sure you have FireFox 46 and you disable autoupdates.
- If you are not comfortable with, or if you did not get to the JS/AJAX/DOM Manipulation portion on the mid-mod you should probably do idea box again.
- If you did not do the socket.io lesson, do the WebSockets workshop.
- The debugging lesson is great for anyone.
- If you feel rusty on services, do one or both of those suggestions.
- Feature Testing JS with Selenium in Rails
- Event Bubbleing - this would be good deeper dive into events in JavaScript.
- WebSockets If you did not get to this lesson, do it. If you did it you may want to revist and try to expand on the functionality. Maybe even build your own websocket project.
- AJAX - IdeaBox Always a good project to repeat and do over again.
- Unit Testing
- Debugging
- NodeSchools Debugging Course
- JavaScript Build Tools Video
- Binding 'this'
- JS Fundementals
- Building Idea Box
- IdeaBox - fine details
