How i supposed to learn this JS foundation without files

Hi, Theres nothing to downolad , nothing that can give me , students oportunity to stay with him in the code on mine machine. The best would be to do like Guil is doing on css foundations . Is there anything that i could have to go throw JS foundations?

Can you say what specific lesson you are on. When I go to check the course, randomly looking at different lessons, I see at the bottom of each page three selections in gray:

Related Questions, Video Transcript, Downloads The files will download in a zip file from the Downloads area.

If I pick a lesson:

Variables, Naming

here:

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-foundations/variables/naming-2

and scroll down

Do you not see Related Questions (default) Video Transcript Downloads? Click on downloads

There are 4 files listed: Project Files Standard Definition Video High Definition Video Video Transcript

If you click on Project Files

You should get a zip file called JavaScript-Foundation-Variables-Naming If you unzip this, you should see a file

myscript.js

You can open this in whatever tool you are using to do your coding.

If you aren't seeing this - you probably have some kind of technical issue. What is your OS/Browser? You'll probably want to pass that along to the TTH technical support.

They did just release some type of CSS change recently. Many of the buttons are now outlined instead of looking like real buttons. I'm sure there are many changes under the covers. Not sure I like all of the changes, to be honest.

Glad to be of help.

One other comment: The course you are on wasn't in my mind a very clear one, but once you get to the ones that Andrew does, they get much better.

Hang in there.

I think the issue here is that, and it appears that I am experiencing it as well, when the user selects the zip button on the web page to download the files for the Strings - Basics course in JS Foundations -- no files are downloaded.

The user is instead taken to a web page with plain text JS of the lesson (with no keywords highlighted in color).

Which section with JS Foundations?

When I go through each of the sections: Variables, Strings, Numbers, Arrays, Functions and Objects and I go to any of the steps within, there is always a download.

Are you saying you want them to provide both the initial state / final state? Or are you saying you are not seeing these files? Or are you wishing you could launch Workspace?

If you're going through the entire JS Foundations section and have been typing and following along that way, you should already have a similar index.html file typed up that you can simply tweak a bit (I just paused the video and made the changes based on what I could see). You can also create a new .js file by duplicating the one you used for variables, renaming it, and then clearing out the information already in there.

Very early on Jim mentions using Textmate. I have found it really helpful to download it and set the theme to Mac Classic. This theme mirrors what's in the videos pretty closely, though not exactly. Hope that helps!

If the following along and using Workspaces route is more of your thing. Try "JavaScript Basics" the lessons are much more hands on where as foundations is meant to get the point across as quickly as possible

You Don't Need to project files, just write down in notebook all codes & even what our teacher speak? these all help you to instantly revise your all codes and important info. second try to Write different codes from Jim in work spaces then you will be able to do problems and also how to solve them. hope you like.
