Build an IdeaBox (React Funtimes!)

Spend some time today building a simple React application.

Your app should include:

Functional and Class components
A controlled form or two that allows user to render elements to the page

You can also include some of the following (choose which you need more practice with!):

Routing

Communication

Outreach & Networking Plan

As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your current network. Describe:

Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about

I've reached out to Tyler Merry at Motley Fool. He's an old family friend from high school who had been working in the industry out here for some time. I want to talk to him about the different positions he's held at different companies and what has made each position or company great or lacking.

Updates:

Technology was something so foreign and outside my comfort zone.
I loved my last job and realize that I've loved every job. I wanted to learn something hard.
Something I might fail at. Something with new challenges all the time.
Something new to learn each day, week, year.
