How was the setup and installation process?

The installation process was a little difficult. The documentation is kind of confusing considering there are two different sets of setup documents. In the README there are setup instruction that are pretty concise but there is also a link to another setup guide that is much more detailed and confusing as someone unfamiliar with the code base. In both documents there are conflicting installation instructions, one wanting an npm install with the server runnong on localhost:8080 and another wanting ng serve with the server running on localhost:4200. There also wasn't any instruction on what to install if you don't have AngularJS installed on your machine which caused issues across our teams machines.

What’s unfamiliar?

This codebase used AngularJS as the framework to build the app in along with typescript files. SASS is used for the styling. This codebase utilizes several tools that I am unfamiliar with.

Blog Post on Medium

• For one of our projects this mod we were required to contribute to an open source project and part of the submission for that project was writing a blog post about our experience and what we learned. I thought this would be a great post to use for my deliverable here. After writing my blog post I posted it in my LinkedIn because the employers that I am currently interested in are also in to contributing to open source and I thought giving them the opportunity to read about my experience and what I took away from it would be a good way to connect with them and maybe open some doors.

Job Interview Reflection - Cognizant QuickLeft Boulder

For my reflection I'm writing about my interview at Cognizant Quickleft in Boulder. This interview was comprised of two parts, a culture fit interview and a technical interview. In the culture fit interview I was asked questions like what technologies am I currently excited about, what am I currently using, what is my story, and what do I do to stay on top of up and coming technologies in the industry. This part was really informal and not stressful at all but I found that being enthusiastic and showing my eagerness to learn and grow drove the conversation. The next part, the technical interview, was structured around reviewing the code from an application that they had me write prior to the interview. In the intervew I was asked to walk the interviewer through my code and explain my thought process. I was also asked technical questions about the code and what could be done to refactor or make things more performant. Once again showing an eagerness to le
