The spoilers will be hidden, until you want to see them. It will be done by putting something over the answer.

You will create an onclick function that will remove the "SPOILER" cover.

I remember this one, and it is a bit daunting when you first start, but stick with him. It will become clear the goal pretty quick.

Issuing the user a spoiler alert is what this project is all about. Just in case you don't understand what a "spoiler" is and why you would want to issue a "spoiler alert" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(media) Basically: don't show information to someone who has never experienced a piece of media (movie, book, song, etc...) that might ruin the whole experience by revealing key content. Example: for a murder mystery: saying to someone, "The butler did it." - revealing that the butler had committed the murder - before they had ever read the book, or saw the movie.

He's teaching jquery library. If some of you are new in programming maybe this course is nonsense but although is kinda slow, it is a very interesting one and more if you take the workspace and try to do some things out.

Building useful and constructive criticisms, make webpages, and the Internet in general, better places to visit. ;-)

I've done about 50 hours of Treehouse courses and workshops (at the time of this comment). This course does start off VERY slow, but any course tagged as beginner assumes the student may have no coding experience. Sometimes the projects seem silly, but you have to look at the bigger picture. Without understanding DOM traversal and manipulation, you won't be able to move on to more advanced topics like React.js.
