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.

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 😁

• be ambitious only if we complete original requirements

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

• The data model describes the sections of your code which contain information to be rendered to the DOM. It is important that your data model and what is displayed on the DOM are exactly aligned. The data model should be the only source of information for what should be displayed.

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

• Frameworks and libraries are packages of reusable code which developers can integrate into their projects. They provide tools for developers to optimize or add new functionality to their code. Unlike libraries, frameworks have stricter rules about how they are to be used. Frameworks are in charge of the flow of the code, and have spots for a developer to plug their own code in. Whereas with a library, the developer has spots in their code for code from the library to be plugged in.

Why should we consider using a framework over vanilla JS like you ha

1. What were your reflections from the video?

   • I really appreciated the emphasis on eliminating any potential sources of bias before even beginning to look at data or start to make decisions. Its so easy for your brain to come to quick conlusions about things/ people before you are consciously aware of it. Anticipating this beforehand is critical to making better decisions
   • Everyone's brains make unconscious assumptions as shortcuts for processing information. It is important not to punish yourself for having a brain which functions in the way it has evolved to function, but to instead constantly work to make yourself aware of and to challenge your own assumptions.
   • No matter what your identities are, there are strengths to your identities. There are ways in which your individuality can be an asset.

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

• _Prior to joining Turing, I have participated in mult
