10,782 PointsHi Chris, I had the same issue. I did decide to write the code in my code editor along with downloading some of the project files. It will take you much longer to go through the videos but you will get a better understanding of the process. I also found myself re-watching some videos because I didn't understand things. That helped sometimes (not all the time). I would recommend coding along with the video if you can. It will also get you used to coding more like a designer. I have adapted a few things I learned from the smells like bakin' process to a project I am working on for a client. And yes I am a newbie.

2,958 Pointsha ok well yeah as we can see were both novice (for now!) I do like team treehouse and will do 25 per month membership after trial but the vids aren't clear sometimes.

2,958 PointsI didn't do it at all nor thought about it, but now it kind of makes me wonder if I was supposed to follow along but I'm like totally 50 50. I tried looking it up but apparently everyone else knows exactly what to do here.

2,958 Pointsoh ok so It's pretty much optional? I suppose I will go without copying everything he does for now. It may take a while for me at the challenges but If i have to guess I'll be better off.
