It's going Too fast! I wish to review all the video's I have seen. I am new to all this material and I am overwhelmed.

I just had a little knowledge of html, but there it ends. Can I incorporate my reviewing of the video's in the schedule. It make no sense if I don't understand what is going on in the course. So I need some more time to capture all this! Some more Time can help. Thanks.

Stefaan De Reu I understand how you feel, did you watch all the material again in order to better understand or did you push forward and found that things were explain in future videos?

Hi Stefaan!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed is normal, and viewing the material again can definitely help you. So if you feel like you want to re-view the material in the course, go for it! :)

Same here. Too much information, too quickly. It goes from delivering one two names of functions and answering question on 2 or 3 to suddenly delvering information about functions linking to functions that have not been covered. I suspect no-one who has followed the course from the absolute beginning with no prior knowledge would be able to follow it. Maybe it will make sense further down the line

I agree, this is not well thought out. This JS module exposes poor concept. This particular video is just noises, a rumble. Impossible to take anything away. And if one cannot take anything away from the clip, what is the point? You are going to fast. You want us to run before we learned to walk. I am a little bit disappointed with this course.

Just the past couple 2 min videos were a bit too fast for me compared to the entire series I'm doing. I'm not sure if Mash is a complex game, but understanding each function and how it's working is a little confusing. But, again, the video went too fast. I'm gona have to watch it again.

I thinks it's just supposed to be a brief overview of HTML/CSS/JS. When you get to other tracks or videos that covers Javascript, you will get more detailed explanations.

Hey Jacob,

To be honest I did some off-line work to get used with the html and CSS terminology. So It is a fine thing to recognize all this concepts again.

I understand how you all feel, i get a bit of anxiety thinking of how much stuff i have written down on my notes, and scary that i haven't gotten enough practice to keep going into something else. My best hopes is that it will all come together in the end. I am a beginner with no knowledge prior to this, i have joined these meet up classes on MEETUP.COM that are organized by people in your area, luckily i found a MEETUP for coders from a beginning level to experts, i recommend you all check APP/website and hopefully find a meetup like this one in your area. To be honest i understand they're doing the best they can and if you think about it u can only do so much through online teaching. So hopefully these meet ups will help me get that extra help i need understanding. :)
