React Router Prework

This gist contains a short assignment we'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.

Instructions

1. Fork this gist
2. On your own copy, go through the listed readings and answer associated questions

You will not be turning this in; it's for your own understanding/learning/benefit 😁

Abstract

Paired Project:

This was a collaborative project with one other student. We were given pre-existing HTML and CSS files, and we implemented functionality for the webpage using Javascript. The end result was a page that creates randomized motivational posters. It also allows the user to create their own poster with custom text and an image URL, and to save posters to a gallery.

Group Project

I worked with two other collaborators to create an app for storing and organizing ideas. The project included building out a comp to match a specified design, and then implementing functionality that included local storage.

Unconscious Bias

Reflections from the video:

• On the one hand, it felt a bit like a Google circle-jerk about how progressive and diverse they are as a company. On the other hand, it is powerful to see disabled employees talking about how valuable their experience is when creating software for all users. I appreciate the emphasis on trying to eliminate, or at least minimize, implicit bias in the hiring process. From the PBS article, it sounds like this is one of the few practices that really works.

Examined implicit bias before turing:

• During my college years, I was able to take a couple different implicit bias tests etc. Always an enlightening experience.
