**Step One**: Watch [Sorting Algorithms in JavaScript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRyqlhjXYQI)

**Step Two**: Fork this gist.

**Step Three**: Respond to this question in your fork: "What are some of the balances and trade offs between different sorting algoritms?"

**Step Four**: _Totally Optional_: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

Step One: Watch Writing Testable JavaScript - Rebecca Murphey from Full Frontal 2012 (award for worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Consider the four responsibilities that Rebecca lists for client side code (hint: they're color coded).

• Did any of the responsibilities that she lists surprise you?
• Do you feel like you mentally split your client side code in IdeaBox and other past projects into these responsibilities?

Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

my code here

• rpass here - Rather than explicitly defining the two strands as variables, rpass actually went ahead and passed them in which seemed to make it more streamlined.
• mbukantz here - This is pretty similar to mine, but this guy is using a counter to track momvements.
• nicrocs here - This method combined everything into one function - not realaly following SRP but still works!
• toriejw here - Its Torie! Cool. Torie's is on the longer side but very easy to follow along with which I appreciate. :)
• jingweih here - I am not entirely sure this would even work as it looks like it is missing a l

Lightning Talk Module 4: Not Your Average Cover Letters

Introduction

• Read example of my crazy cover letter with 'f bombs' that got me an interview
• WHY does everyone hate cover letters?
• You get to brag about YOUR achievements
• I worked in HR before this, and we would toss applications without cover letters!

What should you avoid?

• Copy/pasta template cover letters

Goals

Whether you're going right into a job, still job hunting, or repeating module 4 - you should work to identify goals for how you want to continue growing technically as a developer.

This could be something like 'learn GoLang', 'contribute to open source', 'improve my JavaScript abilities', 'build a weird thing'

At the end of module 3, you became a 'real developer' - so when you think about how to achieve these goals you should be thinking of them like a developer would. For example, if you walk in to an interview and say you know Go, that means you've built something in Go, not that you've taken a codeschool AND codacademy course in Go and followed along with a TODO app tutorial.

Focus on real ways you can demonstrate your learning and motivate yourself to keep at it.
