Can of Books

What can books do?

Books are life-changing. They have the power to enlighten, educate, entertain, heal, and help us grow. Build out this code base to create an web app to track what books have impacted you, and what's recommended to read next.

Authors: Chris and Cam Version: 1.0.0 (increment the patch/fix version number if you make more commits past your first submission)

Overview

This app appears to be a simple bookshelf app that displays a collection of books in a carousel.

Conflict Resolution

• What will your team do if one person is pulling all the weight while the other person is not contributing?

  • Address the workload imbalance.
  • Set clear expectations and divide tasks equally, defining specific tasks and timelines for each person to work on.
  • Hold each other accountable by setting up regular check-ins, progress reports, or milestones.
  • Seek outside help if necessary, such as a mentor, supervisor, or mediator.
  • Approach the situation with a collaborative mindset, aiming to find a solution that works for everyone involved.

• What will your team do if one person is taking over the project and not letting the other member contribute?

  • Address the issue through an open and honest conversation.
  • Set clear expectations for each person's roles and responsibilities.
  • Divide tasks equally.
  • Hold regular check-ins to review progress and discuss any issues.
  • Seek outside help, such as a mentor or mediator, if necessary.

• How will you approach each other and the challenge of building an application knowing that it is impossible for two people to be at the exact same place in understanding and skill level?

To build an application with someone who may have a different level of understanding and skill level, it's important to establish clear communication, openly discuss each other's strengths and weaknesses, and agree on a plan to work together effectively. This can involve setting specific goals, timelines, and dividing up tasks based on each other's skill level. Patience and empathy are also key aspects to consider, as it's natural for people to have different levels of experience and understanding. Regular communication and documentation of progress can help ensure that everyone is on the same page throughout the project. Additionally, remaining open to feedback and willing to learn from each other can help leverage each other's strengths and ultimately achieve shared goals.
