Doing Challenges

Before leaving Treehouse! Open another Browser tab and take a look here in the forum. You will quite likely find others who may be having the same trouble with the challenge you are facing as well as hints on how to overcome it. Once you have an idea how to address the challenge just switch back to he tab the challenge is on and complete it.

Welcome to Treehouse, David Porter !

A good strategy would be to just open the lessons you'd like to peek at in other tabs of your Browser - this way you've got an easy way to always look up something from the lessons and don't have to leave your actual challenge (and risk to loose the steps you've already finished).

Hi David,

I do know what you mean, it is annoying if I lose the progress I'd made in a task.

I think the challenges are there to help test that you understood the lesson. If you're finding that you can't complete the challenges then it might be best to go back and watch the lesson again.

Another approach is to take some notes whilst watching the lessons, or type out the examples along side the lessons. Then you have something to refer back to during the challenges and the interactive experience is likely to help the learning process.

Or open up another browser session or tab and replay the lesson.

Personally like to download the videos as I watch them. I know I'm going to need to refer back to them again and I don't want to have to keep streaming them each time. Plus I can drag through the downloaded videos much quicker than trying to jump around the online one.

Is there a place where you can download all the videos for the task rather than going into each and every stage and getting them individually? :)

If you look at the project overview page (the that lists all of the stages within a project and has the project trailer), then down under the instructor info is a download all option:

" Download videos

Download all the videos from this collection using iTunes. Continue watching videos even when an internet connection is unavailable."

Can I download the videos directly on my computer with the link, when I watch? Itunes not work ...

Treehouse will knock on my door and pick up my harddrive?

I believe this matter should be clarified because iTunes does not work ...
