SRP Training and Homework!

Hi folks,

I've added some helpful SRP links on the side of our blog! Check 'em out!

I'm also copying over the "homework" slide from today's training. Please visit
houstonlibrary.beanstack.org and create some fake accounts! (It's fun, I promise. I've made several for the Darth Vader family.)

Your Homework:
•Create an account. Make sure the first name begins with HPL_ so that we can easily identify and delete these test accounts.
▫Example: HPL_Hermione
•Test the following functions
▫Logging books/minutes (after June 1)
▫Attending programs (enter codes after June 1)
▫Switching Account Creators

▫Award prizes to your test accounts using your location’s account

If you have any questions, please ask!
