Web Development Immersive :: Pre-Work Self-Assessment

INSTRUCTIONS

Please spend around 45 minutes to complete this self-assesment - you may record your answers in this form.

We understand that you may not feel 100% comfortable with all of the topics covered in the pre-work, as many of them are new and challenging. We will cover many of these topics in class during the first two weeks. This will give you a chance to continue learning and apply these concepts & tools to your practice.
