Objective: Create a 5-6 minute presentation on a topic we haven't covered in class that is useful to your fellow developer.

  • How do you use it? Is there a "cheatsheet" or "get started" guide you found or made that others can reference?
• Please create a brief readme outlining your findings and any helpful resources you discover in your research.

Optional

• Slides
• Brief demo of a sample app you built (highly encouraged if your technology lends itself to creating a sample app)
