2.) Learn from multiple sources, maybe video tutorials are not best for you, try books or text tutorials.
Sometimes things are hard to understand, no matter who is teaching you.
Good luck!

That's right, I have watched multiple tutorials about CSS and I don't understand how to float or positioning yet lol

39,199 PointsMy 2 cents on this is that if you are new to programming you'll need to use some other resources to fill in the gaps that Andrew Chalkley alluded to in his post.
There are several resources to learn JavaScript & JQuery online that are free, these are my favorites listed in viewing order.
- JavaScript Course (Learn Street)
- JavaScript Foundations (Treehouse)
- JavaScript 101 video series (appendto)
- try.jquery.com (Code School)
- Build an Interactive Website (Treehouse)
- JQuery Fundamentals
- The online book Eloquent JavaScript

var fields = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var i=0; i<fields.length; i++) {
if(fields[i].className == required) {
store.push(this.value);
}
return store;
}
As for the Teaching Part, a teacher will get you the answer satisfy you.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Israel,
Sorry to hear about your frustations. 'Build an Interactive Website' course is fairly gruelling as it is an advanced course tacked on to the end of a very programming-light project. We've found out that you shouldn't really attempt it without a programming background or solid grounding in JavaScript.
I'd recommend going over an Introduction to Programming and JavaScript Foundations.
I am just at the end of my work on Database Foundations and my next job is to review, refine and polish existing content, on the "Learn JavaScript and jQuery Learning Adventure". This will include adding code challenges to older courses to aid in learning JavaScript in JavaScript Foundations. Refreshing some introductory content, all with the goal to leading up to a new beginner course of jQuery Foundations. We get a wide range of feedback and we're grateful for any, good or bad. We aim to make this the best place to learn about Web Design and Web Development and that no matter what your current skill level is we'll get you there.
A good way to get around some of the issues you're having is to post the code of what you've written up to. And then other forum members or myself can see where you are and they can give you advice from where you got to.
As a matter of interest did you do JavaScript Foundations? What learning adventure did you embark on? Do you think adding code challenges to JavaScript Foundations will help in your learning? What are your goals in learning jQuery, what would you like to do with it?
We're here for you and please don't hesitate to ask any questions. All questions are welcome. We're happy to serve you and your fellow students. I'd also like to thank those students who are active on this forum who are giving great advice! You guys rock.
Andrew
