Snippets for the code challenges

The key is practise practise practise I'm afraid. If you are forgetting things after the video then don't move onto the next video until you have mastered that lesson. As for code snippets next to the questions kind of defeats the object of learning in my eye's. When I was learning HTML/CSS I first watched the video with full attention on full screen, then I watched it again following along in my editor, then I watched it a third time and wrote notes.

All this while reading books, blogs and the w3c website.

Pretty much.

Learning to program is kinda like learning algebra, each piece builds on the last one. If you move on without fully understanding it, it might come back to bite you. YMMV.

Thanks Adam Sackfield and James Barnett for your responses. :-)

Yes I was thinking more on the lines of an SoS or an "If you're really stuck" feature that you could call on if you've watched the videos enough times for failed the quizes/challenges enough times but I absolutely understand the need to keep practicing.

Still it was just an idea and one that I won't keep going on about. It's a great setup here on treehouse. :)

I've since done a lot of revision on treehouse on Gradients and put some things together that will hopefully help me remember and a reminder to revise 3d gradients. They were tricky. Going along nicely again though.

Yes I see what you mean. Codeschool has a similar feature with hints if your really stuck, but I found that I used them too much rather than researching the question.
