In order to make you as successful as possible during your time here, we have collected readings and exercises for you to complete prior to beginning Mod 1. This pre-work helps provide important context, vocabulary, and baseline of skills to help you hit the ground running on the first day of class. We've found that students who come into the program having invested time in familiarizing themselves with key concepts are able to maximize their time at Turing.

## Mod 1 Pre-work Overview

The Mod 1 Pre-work is divided into two sections: Professional Development and Technical. You are required to spend at least 8 days completing these assignments, however it is recommended that you start as soon as possible. If you have more than a week to dedicate to the mod 1 pre-work, make sure you continue to code every day after you have completed the assignments. You SHOULD NOT complete the mod 1 pre-work early and take an extended break from coding before your first day of class. This is very important to make sure you are in a routine that will keep your skills sharp and prepare you to hit the ground running on day 1.

## Pre-work Assignments

The following assignments are due based on your mod 0 section and can be found on the [mod 0 calendar](mod0.turing.io#calendar)

All of the homework for mod 0 can be found on the [mod 0 project board](https://github.com/turingschool/mod-0/projects/1)

This project board uses a methodology called kanban (I would google the term if you're unfamiliar)

You'll be using an app called [conveyor belt](http://conveyorbelt.herokuapp.com/) to create your own copy of the board above. This will allow you to track your progress on the homework over time by moving each card to the done column when you've completed it.

When you've finished your homework, and you're looking for something to do, you can always rely on the mod 1 pre-work as that outlet! Just find the link in the sidebar for your program.

## What is Mod 0?

Mod 0 is a prerequisite course for both of the programs at Turing. It is a structured series of 5 classes which take place remotely during the evening, and ideally starts 6 weeks before you begin your full-time FEE or BEE course at Turing. These classes are not in person, and are conducted fully remotely via Zoom. Please check the [calendar](https://sites.google.com/casimircreative.com/enrollment/documents-and-info/events-mod-0-calendar) for session dates.

### Technical Pre-work

The technical capstone can be completed in 8 days, with one day for setup. However, it is highly recommended that you begin immediately. It is expected that you spend a few hours of concentrated effort on the tasks for each day - about 30 hours total. This should help you to establish a routine of coding every day.
