Why do you only give the completed Project Files?

Why do you only give the completed Project Files?

I like to follow along with my own text editor, it would be nice if you give the starting project file, and not just the completed project file.

"Project Files" have been a way to catch up and compare.

You can get the incomplete files from launching the Workspace and downloading the project from the File menu.

The starting files are in the Workspace. I usually type everything but in some cases I'll open the the Workspace and copy out what I need.

You can simply download the files from File > Download Workspace in Workspaces

Good afternoon,

Shall use the download from workspace method, but in the previous JavaScript basics course we were able to download all the project files for the course at the beginning, complete and starter. Thats a very good method to move forward, why not use that?

I would actually like an answer from the instructor (Andrew Chalkley)
