Poll: Did you notice the Command Line deep dive?

At the end of the PHP development track, and/or within the Rails Development track, there is a deep dive for Console Foundations.

Did you notice the deep dive? If so, how long did you toil with the Sass basics before you noticed it? If not, do you think it would have helped you getting started with the Sass tutorials? Everywhere I've looked--these forums, different online schools, the Sass basics video itself ("If you're afraid of the console - use Scout!")--the console is recognized as a pain point.

Just a heads up if you didn't notice it - I didn't.

Edit: It's also in the Front-end track. I didn't notice it there because I switched tracks since I couldn't get Sass to work (not console related, I don't think).

I noticed it before I started the Sass deep dive in the Front End Development track and thought it may have been better before. But I'm old enough to remember the old days when you had to type dos commands at the command line pre Windows 3.1 so I didn't have any trouble installing ruby and Sass following the instructions and getting Sass running.

I haven't looked at how much it actually covers yet. No doubt, a lot more than I know, considering how far behind I let my knowledge get in the last 20+ years...
