I had a question about workspaces... W/ Javascript section, is there a place to view the markdowns for the challenges?

I can't find the markdowns for the code challenges. Are we supposed to go off of the instructor reference? It would be easier for me to look at the instructions rather than listen to what is being said by the instructor.

Hi Brian,

I don't know if you will get many responses on this one.

The subject of providing what are called .srt (transcript) files for what's on the videos is kind of a "sore spot" for the TeamTreehouse people.

They are in a format that is not very user friendly and I suggest they try to make them available in other formats (like markdown or rtf).

It was explained to me that producing even the srt files was extremely "burdensome" and that is probably why some of the new courses (and a lot of the workshops) haven't even bother.

There is a very ambitious roadmap for courses coming out in January of 2016 so I wouldn't epect this to be either a short term or long term priority.

Note: any text file associated with the video content makes it more search (and generally more content) friendly.
