Zoom session with Russell. We spent an hour going over Ajax and jQuery training. I told him that I had to build a small mini cart and he jumped in and was helping me learn some basics. He sent me over the files that we were working on.

We covered topics of: Looking up options for fake api's (get quick data from an outside source just for testing), samples Ajax calls, samples for jQuery, fetch, CSS spinners, we rand some quick tests, pull things in quickly, configured them, and tested them without any special calls (quick and raw). etc.

My other big takeaway from the morning meeting was the value of the continuing education that Russell has been doing, adding it up over time. He was able to jump in and start playing vs having to look everything up or not knowing where to go or start. He already had the basics and was able to build from there. That was super cool and fun to watch. He told me that was from years and years of doing continuing education, a little here, a little there, etc. Super cool!
