It is essential to start learning new concepts and ideas before Saturday’s session. During the week, we expect you to get stuck and form questions about the new content so you can address misconceptions during Saturday’s session.

Why are we doing this?

This project is about really understanding your database by representing it in a diagram. How do the tables relate to each other? How do references work? What is the primary key? What is a foreign key? Drawing a simple schema will clear this all up.

Remember, simple is better. Use a pencil and paper.

https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/Full-Stack-Project-Assessment

Why are we doing this?

Continue building your full stack project. You must reach level 300 by the end of this week and seek code review from a mentor.

Make sure you complete each level before moving on to the next stage. Your project can only be assessed as reaching a level when all the requirements for that level are met. Read the requirements carefully. When you get stuck, open a PR and explain your blocker. Get help from colleagues and mentors.

As a professional developer, you will often encounter blockers in your daily work. It can feel frustrating. Learning to share your blockers productively and resolve them collaboratively is an important step in becoming a good developer.
