1. What worked well in your process?

• In my first few tech challenges I felt that it was difficult for me to pseudocode. After more practice, I figured out that I need to first explain my thought process verbally and then type it out in pseudocode. It's difficult for me to think through the problem while talking and typing. (One thing at a time).

2. What was difficult/where did you struggle?

• I had some trouble recalling built-in Ruby methods. With more daily practice, I think I'll be able to have more built-in methods top of mind.

3. What feedback/discussion did you have with your peer?

• We discussed how it's important to verbally explain what you're expecting and frequently sanity check your work.

4. Is there anything you want to change about your approach to the next technical challenge?

• I'd like to work more on my clarifying questions related to the tech challenge. I think I'd also like to try harder problems that I'm just not able to finish at all in 30 minutes so I can practice my graceful exits

The projects you complete at Turing will help you build proficiency in many skills you will need on the job. They're are also extremely useful experiences to discuss in networking conversations and job interviews! Students and alumni who can confidently speak to their specific technical contributions and teamwork processes tend to be the most successful in the job hunt.

This takes practice. The prompts below are meant to mimic technical and behavioral questions you might be asked in interviews.

First, Create a folder inside of lib called seeds

Put your CSV file example.csv into the lib/seeds folder. In the example below, the file is called real_estate_transactions.csv

Make sure you've created a resource with the appropriate columns to match your seed data. The names don't have to match up.

1. There was a conflict in two different installations (one being installed via the application, the other being installed via homebrew)
2. Something else was running on port 5432
3. Could not install pg gem

• Uninstalled postgresql using homebrew. You can use brew list to see all of the versions that you may have installed. (Note if you do have more than one version installed you will have to specify which version to brew uninstall)
