Project 3 evaluation

I received my evaluation for Project 3 yesterday. I have been asked to make some updates and resubmit the project.

After looking at the review, I realized that I had made some mistakes and should have checked the project more closely before submitting. Simple things that I should have caught (semicolons after function expressions, no semicolons after function declarations) seemed to be my biggest offense.

Lesson learned: use the tools available to you.

Had I used jslint.com or any number of other tools that check JS syntax, I could have caught these issues right away. Instead, I thought I knew enough to not need the tools, and I was proven wrong.

So, after correcting the issues and resubmitting the project, I will be adding those tools into my work routine. I suspect I may have issues with Project 4 as well, since I did not use the recommended tools (Grunt, gulp, minifier) in that project either. If so, I will have them ready for when Project 5 comes around, as it seems that specific project will be a culmination of what we have learned throughout the courses - a true final project.
