MODULE 1 **1. Overview of what I learned** - Technical Skills - I reviewed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as Ruby. - I ran Discourse on my local host using my terminal and practiced updating its themes. - Tools - Github: helps facilitate team coordination by making code easier to modify and share - Terminal: command line for MacOS users that provides text-based access to the operating system - Discourse: an online, open-source and forum-based software - Slack/Discord for team communication - Airtable for communicating what tasks need to be completed for each module - Soft Skills - I learned the importance of creating reference sheets and notes so that I could easily access information whenever I needed it. - I learned the importance of communicating with teammates, as they were able to help me with many of the questions I had. - I realized how important debugging is while testing my code for Ruby, because I had a lot of bugs while I was learning the language. **2. Three achievement highlights** - I got more practice with using my terminal to access different parts of my operating system and to open Discourse. - I practiced using Ruby and learned a lot about the syntax. - I was able to open Discourse and practice updating themes to it. **3. Goals for next week** - Refresh my memory on how to run Discourse on my local host and create/update themes - Learn about Ember JS and SCSS **4. Tasks completed** - I brushed up on my knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I took down detailed notes for quick and easy reference in the future. - I reviewed some command line basics to get a better understanding of how to use terminal on my computer, while also taking notes as a glossary of the different commands. - I reviewed my Ruby notes and added to them by following along with the provided video. ---
