Catch your Breath

We have been going at a fast pace for the past couple of weeks. Every so often, you need to reflect on how far you have come.

In this assignment, we are going to take a little code break and create a blog post. Writing is a good way to reflect on what you have done and also share some knowledge. The best way to get better at talking about technology is practice. Blog posts are a way to practice that skill.

Objectives

Practice talking about technology
Reinforce a topic we have covered in class

Requirements

Create a blog on Medium.

Explorer Mode

[ ] On Medium, create a blog post that talks about a concept we have gone over in class. This could anything topic from HTML, CSS or JavaScript, or a "lesson learned" from the past couple of weeks. As a challenge, consider picking a topic you think you are weak on. Remember, you are creating a developer-focused blog post.
[ ] Solve this kata: https://www.codewars.com/kata/volume-of-a-cuboid To turn this in, create a gist of your code and submit a link to it.
[ ] Submit the link to your published blog post when turning in this assignment.

Adventure Mode

[ ] continue to work on blackjack
[ ] As we progress, we will be using different tools to work our brain. Today, head over to HackerRank. This is another tool, like Codewars to practice our developer skills. As a start, head into the algorithms section, and try Grading Students.
[ ] To turn this in, create a gist of your code and submit a link to it.

Epic Mode

[ ] Go back and finish up any outstanding work.
[ ] Go back to a previous assignment and work on it some more. This could be trying to tackle a harder level, working on the UI/UX, refactoring the code to a new idea that we covered (e.g. functions and abstractions), or adding unit tests.
[ ] To turn this in, link to the other project's repository, and describe what you did.
