Lessons Learned

• What would we do differently?

○ Comment your code in great detail. Working by yourself is different than working with a team! ○ Development always takes longer than expected: Plan accordingly ○ Communication is vital. Everyone needs to be on the same page about who is writing the code for each part. ○ Understand the concepts to allow for different contextual use. Then you can use any framework/library ○ Factor in learning curve/learning time when deciding what to work on

• What went well?

○ React is great! ○ Redux is not as complicated as it seems

• What was not as expected?

○ Factor in learning curve/learning time when deciding what to work on
