Mod2 Portfolio

Arram Mandel - M2 Portfolio

Areas of Emphasis:

This module I aimed to create more complex applications and greatly increase my mastery of array prototype methods. I also wanted to deepen my understanding and mastery of object oriented programming. I feel that I have learned how to create larger, more complex applications. I have also greatly increased my proficiency with array prototype methods, particularly when it comes to using dot and bracket notation.

Self Evaluation:

Practice

Often times, you'll be jumping into a pre-existing codebase and working with other people's code rather than writing a fresh app from scratch on your own. Sometimes the code is poorly tested or documented, and the previous developers may have moved on and taken their domain knowledge with them.

Navigating other's code, especially when it's broken, can lead you down some frustrating rabbit holes. Having solid debugging skills and understanding error messages will make this part of your job much easier.

Empathy Section

Empathy Section

  1. Empathy has helped me understand people whenever they have angered me through my life. When I was teaching 6th grade, the students would anger me often. I had to think about what was going through their heads. Upon doing so I would become less angry because I would remember what's important to them and that at 12 years old it's not their fault that they're a certain way. Additionally it helps me whenever a friend is unresponsive or cancels plans continuously. I remember times when I was caught up in life and ignored people and it usually leads to me forgiving them.

  2. I watched a video recently where someone said that it doesn't matter how good your website is if no one use it. No one will use it if you don't attune it to what they need. From the article I read, having empathy and listening to what someone needs will allow you to make software that better suites them. People will buy and use what they need and having empathy lets us figure out exactly what that is.

  3. Empathy is

29 Behaviors Reflection:

  1. The three behaviors that resonate with me are understanding that code is cheap, be capable of writing bad code and act as a leader. In my own experiences so far I've come to realize that you must be ready to scrap your code and start over. You cannot hang on to improper code just because you invested time writing it. Additionally, while I believe the balance of writing bad code/seeking perfection is something I will struggle with, I'm aware that it will be an important skill when I must meet deadlines in my future career. Finally, acting as a leader is something I value very much. Being a leader means that although people will follow and listen to you, you are not above them and are certainly not above doing grunt work.

  2. While I was also initially resistant to using a checklist, I cannot deny their necessity. In my current job when opening and closing the office, I do the same several things everyday and I will still miss things. It is a foolish idea to think that

HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites: Ch. 1 and 2 questions:

  1. The purpose of HTML code is to provide structure for the webpage.

  2. An element contains the content of the webpage and tells the browser information about the content. Each element consists of tags, usually an opening and a closing tag. The tags act like containers.
