Fundamentals Learned

NSS taught me how to learn. This was helpful when transitioning from vanilla JavaScript to React from one project to the next. I found it was less about memorizing code and more about figuring out how to solve a problem.

I had the opportunity to learn how to work with a team to develop code and utilize Github and project boards. This differed from individual projects due to the communication aspect of a group project and also finding out how to resolve coding merge conflicts.
