Learning on a Macbook Pro

Hi All,

This may be a very stupid question, but does anyone have a proper method for managing SDKs and the treehouse videos on a laptop screen? I am learning Swift so I am constrained to my Macbook and it is very difficult to follow along with the videos without having to constantly shift things around and see a quarter of the screen while trying to type quickly to keep up. Any recommendations? Apologies that this is a very basic question, but I was curious if I was making my life much harder than it needed to be.

external monitor. LOLs. Plus mechanical keyboard, plus gamer mouse.

If not your going to have to get used be cumbersome.

My setup is two monitors. I have one monitor for videos and one monitor to typing script.

Use an external monitor or watch the videos from an iPad!
