Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	And/Or Logic, If/Else, iterating over arrays
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	Figuring out how to use 'this' correctly.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	It presented a new way to think about 'old' concepts (is 3 months old, old?). That is, how the parts of the language work together to solve a problem.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Kind of the flip side to the previous answer -- it was hard to remember that some of the same concepts had different syntax. Also {{{{{BRACKETS!}}}}}
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Not really. I think it's a good idea to go back and revisit projects we did with Ruby.
