I have some html experience, but no css experience. I find that the beginning html/css class moves too slow when I could just look at the code itself and know what is going on. Is there a way to move faster through the course and still understand what's going on?
For example; I am much more used to learning through reading text and it is much faster for me to stay interested and get more stuff done this way unless I'm ready to start messing with ruby where the in-depth videos would be more helpful.

Treehouse Teacherwestleyisbell Did you know you can play back the videos at up to 2 times speed? I'll watch some videos at 1.5X or 2X speed when i'm just reviewing content I already know.

Treehouse TeacherGreat point Aleem Mohamed I totally agree. When I quickly run through a video on a subject I know about, I often pick up some small tidbit of information that's helpful.

4,605 PointsThanks guys. I have been using the 2x speed, but it didn't last long. Being unfamiliar with CSS I have been definitely learning some new stuff. I understand now tables are not used as they were 10 years ago to layout a design in a website like I used to do when I was a kid. I even ran across a website where I first started learning html. htmlgoodies.com - It had an ugly orange template which just came back to memory. Ah, the good ole days!
