Newbie Here...

Hi Sue, You can download to as many machine as you like. The project files are on the tutorial page, they are on the right hand side if your browser is full screen but if the browser isn't wide enough then they are at the bottom of the page.

you can download the files as many times as you want. project files are always on the same page as the the videos.

sometimes the project files are not with the first video in a stage, e.g. for the html deep dive the project files do not show up before global structures I link.

hope that helps.

sorry for cross-posting seems to take forever until treehouse responds today

Hey Sue! If you have the right cables you might be able to set up that second CPU as an additional display for the first one. Essentially this would allow you to utilize two screens with the same computer. That might be easier than going back and forth between two separate computers and give you the additional space to work.

Hello Sue,

I highly recommend getting an inexpensive monitor that you could use to split your display screen. My set up is a laptop 15 inch and then I use a monitor I picked up for around $100 but I'm sure you can get them for less. Check out PriceWatcher.com they always have good deals and Amazon is always a good place to look. If you have a MicroCenter near by then check out there clearance sales.

Doing this will let you use your laptop for the coding part with your text editor and then the monitor for viewing the video in full size screen mode.

Here are some links on how to set it up.

Hello Sue,

If your working on a windows 7 machine you can use the "aero snap" function to easily divide your screen space equally between two windows. Select your web browser window with the video lesson and hold down the windows key press the directional keys either left or right to align accordingly. Then select your second window which should be the text editor and then again, windows key + opposite direction.

I also recommend getting a secondary monitor to run off your current machine but this might be a quick fix until then.

Cheers

My laptop is Windows 8 and my desktop is tired iron, running Vista (although this old Dell is not given me one MINUTE of trouble...amazing!). Others have suggested a second monitor, but if I network my two cpu's won't that give me the same capability? Probably missing the obvious... Thanks for taking the time for this help, Joshua!
