For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project	Trang: From Shelan, I learned the importance of planning and drafting up wireframes before beginning a project. We were able to quickly create the library, customer, and check-out rental components because we had a clear plan. It took us a little longer with the search component because we did not spend the time to plan out the nested components within it. Shelan: From Trang, I've gained a greater understanding of how components pass callbacks and keeping track where data goes. I also gained improved debugging skills by seeing my partner investigate errors by understanding how/where/why it occurred in the first place.
