As long as you don't get confused at the start, this was a very useful video

I'm on the web developer track and I found this video to be an excellent review of the various aspects of JavaScript and AJAX. It has a line-by-line explanation of all the AJAX code we've used so far and uses functions, conditional statements, loops, calls, dynamic html markup injection, array index values, and using dot notation.

Yes, it has new things to learn, too; but it really is tying together the material from different subjects I've learned while studying at treehouse. It's almost like the coach of a team saying, "Okay, today we are going to run some drills while we learn this new play."

I only got confused at the beginning when I was searching Workspaces for the widget.html, which does not exist, but when I realized that it was the final html we were aiming for, I found this lesson easy to follow.

And it is only confusing because of the way this video is edited so that he immediately clicks on Workspace and bang, up comes the completed file.
