Should I just be following along to the front end web development course with the code challenges or should I also be coding the content / site along with the video in workspace?

Courses Plus Student 3,724 PointsI follow along with the video and have a workspace open, at the same time.
If an instructor gets going too fast, I pause the video and finish up the coding in my workspace.
In my opinion I would do both at the same time, if you can. It helps with the code challenges and quizzes, if you have been doing the work along with the instructor.

7,822 PointsWhen I first started I only had treehouse on my iPad. I went through the videos whilst I travelled but it wasn't until I started following along with workspaces that it really stuck. Depends on how well you learn but from experience you retain knowledge by doing.
I went back when I had access to a computer and did it all again.

I have replayed all the videos and have brought the code in my workspace up to date with the course.
Cheers guys!
