End of Semester Challenge! (Week 9)

Welcome!

Goals

Here are this week's goals:

  • Complete the EOS challenge!

Your Objective

Get ready for the ultimate challenge... building Kudos from scratch! 🙀

For the final session of this semester, lets leverage all of the skills and practices we've obtained from prior weeks to build Kudos as if we came up with it on our own.

In other words, your goal is to setup, build, and run a React app (namely, Kudos) all on your own!

I know you can do it. 💪

Your Checklist

To get this done, you'll need to recall each prior week to some extent.

Let's walk through some high-level steps that you might take to do this:

  1. Create a react app. Not much to add here, but if you run into any errors, just remember that the command you enter in the terminal must follow a specific syntax.
  2. Open your project. After creating the app, you should open it in VSCode. If you remember how to do this from your terminal, awesome! If you don't, no worries, just do it via the VSCode window.
  3. Start a development server. In the VSCode project terminal (you can open it from the navbar), run the command to start your localhost.
  4. Create a folder to store your components and create the necessary component files. Create and move the files you'll need to build the form and cards in your components folder. You can decide what to name them, but remember to keep the naming consistent.
  5. Write the code! Remember to check past weeks if you need guidance. Also, remember to save your changes frequently with Ctrl + S / Cmd + S

Closing NotesRemarks and an Exit Ticket

Thank you all for an amazing semester!!!!!

I had a great time learning and coding with everyone, and am even more hype for when we return in the Spring.

My last ask is that you all complete this form:

I designed it for a few reasons:

  1. To get your feedback on the sessions.
  2. To see where you feel like are now vs. where you were in August when we started.
  3. Lastly, and most importantly, to get your input on what we should do next semester!

Blueprint is still super young and this is our first time running Tech Team this way, so your thoughts and opinions will directly shape how we run it for semesters to come.

I appreciate you all and thanks again for a great semester!
