Week 1

• I have pushed my progress to branch for group intro
• branch for the class vocabulary

Check-In

good busy week. learned a lot about npm and working remotely in a group dynamic

• watched a lot of coding train, including github for poets.

• printed out the cheat sheet

• started vsc on vsc tutorial

• read nvm "command not found" (not going to pretend i understood)

I Need Help With:

troubleshoots with formatting, linting and especially spell-check

What went well?

working in a group is fun, and its nice to have support and be able to pull resources together

What went less well?

PRs and scheduling. wish i had more time to review and look at more materials outside of immediate objectives

Lessons Learned

enriched technical vocabulary, working with deliverables, checklists, markdown

Sunday Prep Work

make sure everything is linked and submitted properly. finalize merging in group repo. go over materials/flashcards

Are you having trouble locally or on GitHub? Both?

PRs and scheduling

Working with a group is really hard. If I could summarize the first 5 weeks of the course into a single goal it would be just that - planning and collaborating. So no rush here, you're expected to have all sorts of challenges at first. Each project in the coming weeks will be too quick to finish - the goal is to practice getting together as a group to plan a project and start dividing tasks. You'll get more time to finish projects later on

wish i had more time to review and look at more materials outside of immediate objectives

Part way through Agile Development I think you'll start settling into a routine and finding more time for this

Are you having trouble locally or on GitHub? Both?

locally. with the linting/formatting i find that sometimes it works, but sometimes even after i fix the problems in the vsc "problems" tab the file doesn't change. then with the spell check i add the new words to the dictionary file, but sometimes the spell-check still picks the same words afterwards.

from home.

Aha, the "problems" tab is a little different. it's logging things picked up by linters or formatters installed as VSCode extensions, the NPM scripts are stand-alone software installed by npm install and following configuration files in the repo.
this make sure that everyone's code is checked the same way regardless of how their VSCode is set up.
The "problems" tab will likely show something different than the results of npm run lint:md and that's ok, it's just the lint:md script that matters for the GitHub action (you can see that because the action file uses npm run lint:md exactly like you do locally).

but sometimes even after i fix the problems in the vsc "problems" tab the file doesn't change

Do you fix the problems by editing the file?

then with the spell check i add the new words to the dictionary file, but sometimes the spell-check still picks the same words afterwards.

Don't worry so much about the spell check, it's more brittle. The GitHub checks don't use the spellcheck, it's just a helpful tool for you when editing locally.

from home.

Do you fix the problems by editing the file?

not directly. i guess that's what i'm doing wrong... i just clicked on the little "lightbulbs" next to the errors in the "problems" tab and chose "fix".

from home.

That will catch some errors, but not all the same ones as the linting script. You can use the lightbulbs to help with mistakes as you're writing, and the linting script every time you take a little break to go back and review all the files

Week 2

Check-In

busy week. much more collaborative than week 1

• watched mostly css tutorials and some html

• stalked coaches on github to see what their development & planning process looks like 😈

I Need Help With:

not sure about issues.md. what is it for? also having a weird problem with checkmark boxes on my .md files

What went well?

group collaboration for the most part. very productive work session on wednesday. got a lot done.

What went less well?

still some issues with ssh and local-remote work.

Lessons Learned

better understanding of development process. basic html and css

Sunday Prep Work

finish writing code, make sure page is up and running, make sure all files/issues/prs/etc. are linked correctly
