Things To Do During Review and Ramp-Up Week

1. Build a porfolio website

Example porfolio sites built by past Fullstack and Grace Hopper students:

• Alex Polubiec
• Carlos Mendoza
• Michael Bushoy

Other resources:

• 15 Web Developer Portfolios to Inspire You
• I Reviewed 50 Portfolios on Reddit and This Is What I Learned

2. Redo older workshops with newer technologies (esp. React/Redux):

Some suggested workshops:

• Wikistack (add React/Redux)
• Tripplanner (add React/Redux)
• Twitter.sql (add Sequelize and/or React/Redux)

When adding React/Redux:

Make sure you've npm installed the following technologies:

• Babel: babel, babel-core, babel-loader, babel-preset-es2015, babel-preset-react
• React: react, react-dom, react-redux, react-router (for Trip Planner, you may want to use react-google-maps; or, if you want a challenge, you can write your own Google maps component)
• Redux: redux, redux-logger, redux-thunk
• And webpack

To set up your webpack.config.js file, you may wish to refer to the config file for the Juke Part 5 solution. You will also want to update your start script in your package.json.

Not sure where to start?

• You might find this article, Thinking In React, useful.

When adding Sequelize to Twitter.sql:

You may want to refer to the Wikistack solution when setting up a connection to your database.

3. Check out Joe's live coding

Sometime during these two weeks, Joe will be live-coding a fullstack Javascript app; watch Slack for a link to that (exact date and time TBD).
