Why do I need to download new project files for every video?

Thanks. Yes, I am more than happy to make the import changes. I think my point is that perhaps the QA for this course could have been done a little better. These typos should not be in the code, and downloads for each stage should be available (and not giving S3 XML errors) when the course launches.

I shall be waiting a few weeks until these things have settled down and then try again.

I still much prefer the approach taken by other courses where you code along from the start, but perhaps that is just me.

Edward has raised some valid pain points with regards to downloading the project files. QA could also have been better atleast when it comes to downloading the project files. I would also prefer the approach where you code along from the start. As far as the typo's Rhys mentioned I noticed that too. It looks like Treehouse is testing our debugging skills :)

I also would have preferred a true code along. I've ran into multiple problems using the same code as the examples. Having a strong understanding of React/Redux and a basic understanding of React Native, fixing these issues hasn't taken longer than ten minutes but they are nonetheless frustrating. While this might not be the BEST place to start learning Native, I've picked up quite a bit by going through the bugged project zips and making them work. Mainly here to get a better handle on React-Native-Router-Flux which hopefully gets broken down well later in the course.

I think the point is so you can easily see changes between videos on your own machine as separate folder (although you could just as easily use git). The project files you d/l aren't broken but most of the import statements are wrong.

Read the errors in your simulator, most point to bad import statements. Also if problems are on Android, copy/paste index.ios.js into index.android.js, replacing its original contents. Pay attention to the import statements at the top of each fie and correct them as necessary.

For example... In the TeamProfileContainer, the path to CharacterList in the import statement is '../components/CharacterList'. If you look at your project, you'll notice that these folders are all capitalized so you need to change the import path to '../Components/CharacterList'. Go through and check import statements on all of your files or just change the name of the folders to lowercase and everything should work.
