Going through 15 steps and not knowing exactly what is happening.. maybe a quick demo to the final product will be more helpful? (after walking-through the 15 steps)

what i do when i dont know what exactly we're building, is to go to the final video in this lesson and just view the finished product. i didnt really understand what we were building but after seeing the final 20ish seconds of the final video, i understood clearly. cheers!

ok. yet, if I read Mobile Drop Down and don't automatically link it to CSS media queries, and how they are used all over the Web to create responsive interfaces, I am going for fundamentals.

In a real-world environment, you're never given the finished product. Sure you may have a UX/UI Design team showing you non-functional mockups, but you have to get out of your comfort zone while you're learning.

The examples used here are quite commonly used features. The most popular frameworks have adopted them as it is or with some light modification. For instance, an alert can be seen as a single item light box.
Take a look at Framework Basics, than return and you will see it more like a how to customize popular features.
