Howdy gang. As mentioned in class, rather than add more projects, work, etc. on your plate for Thanksgiving Break, we would rather you spend part of each day either ramping up or shoring up areas of the content we have covered so far.
While you do not need to code for hours on end each day, we STRONGLY recommend that you spend a portion of each day code. And by STRONGLY, I mean that if you do absolutley no coding you are exponentially more likely to repeat the module. As we have mentioned, you'd be shocked at how quickly concepts are forgotten if you aren't putting in the reps!
- Build a
{something}Box
We recommend that you build your comfort level around building React based applications. You can definitely work on building Ideabox again, but we encourage you to make a {something}Box of your own so you aren't just working on memorizing patterns.
- Test a
{something}Box
After you have built out a React App, make sure you are getting reps in TESTING the app!
