Now that you've built a full-stack web application and have another project to share, you'll be updating your portfolio page and other materials to build toward being employer competitive. If you are opting out of career services, this is still a required assignment. Part of being a web developer means being a part of a community. Having a place to share your projects is necessary if you're applying for jobs, but is still critical on your journey as a developer.

Instructions
Updated Portfolio GitHub Profile Updated Resume Updated LinkedIn
Updated Portfolio Your updated site should have the following content:
Your name
Links to your GitHub profile & LinkedIn page as well as your email address and phone number
A link to a PDF of your resume
A list of projects. For each project, make sure you have the following:
Project title
Link to the deployed version
Link to the GitHub repository
Screenshot of the deployed application
Design Unfortunately, this is where it gets a little bit subjective. Your site should look "polished." Here are a few guidelines on what that means:
Mobile-first design
Choose a color palette for your site so it doesn't just look like the default bootstrap theme or an unstyled HTML site.
Make sure the font size is large enough to read, and that the colors don't cause eye strain.
Updated GitHub Profile
If you haven't yet, now is the time to update the following in your GitHub profile:
Profile picture
Bio
Location
Link to your portfolio
Employers (and potential collaborators) will look at your GitHub profile, so put your best face forward.
Pin some repos that you want to highlight
Navigate to GitHub and go to your profile.
Click "Customize your pins"
Click the checkboxes for your project and 2-3 homework assignments that you would like to share
Make sure each of these projects is deployed and add a link to the deployed project in their README files
Follow your classmates. They are the beginning of your professional network and being a developer is as much about being a part of the community as it is writing code.
