React Router Prework

This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.

Instructions

  1. Fork this gist
  2. On your own copy, go through the listed readings and answer associated questions

You will not be turning this in; it's for your own understanding/learning/benefit 😁

Module 3 Pre-work

React Review (required)

Create a GitHub gist to answer these questions in as much detail as possible. Imagine someone is asking these questions in an interview (these are popular interview questions).

What is a "data model", and how does it relate to the DOM in a front-end application?

The data model is essentailly the 'source of truth' of what is rendered on the page. Typically, the data model is used to organize information that will be displayed onto the document object model, in the form of an object or a class.

What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"

Unconcious Bias at Work

  1. What were your reflections from the video

    • The video made me reflect on the fact that we all come in with an unconcious bias, even when we don't think we have one. In fact, this bias is a part of human nature, and our ability to process the world around us. That being said, recognizing these biases is very important in being able to put them aside and collaborate with others, especially on teams. A huge part of navigating with unconcious bias is being open-minded and accepting.

  2. In what ways have you examined implicit biases before coming to Turing?

  • I have a highly social part time job (fitness instructor) in which I'm constantly meeting and interating with new people. As a figure there to motivate people and help them along their journey, an important peice of the puzzle (and a huge part of our company) is being open to types of people and all mindsets. What this role has taught me is that you can still be a kind, compassionate, and loving human
