Wondering About the Pop-Up Word Balloons in the Treehouse Videos

The training videos have these cool pop-up balloons. I am still in the beginning stages of training, but at what point do we learn how to do that? Is that part of CSS Animations or a more advanced aspect of programming? Thanks!

Could you be more specific, Francis? When and where do you see these specific word balloons? At the end of the quizzes? Or in the videos themselves?

I'm assuming you're talking about the little bubble that fly's out from the bottom left corner to define a word or thing that they just used?

If so, that's not done as CSS or any other web thing. It's a video editing thing. They would have used some sort of video editing software to animate and design that, and than just upload the whole thing to the web.

Thanks Kevin!! Those are the ones! Just seems like there is so much to know.

There is. Not only is there so much to learn, but what you are learning is a moving target. It's always changing. I spend as much time learning, reading, practicing code, languages, techniques, designs, etc as I do actually doing work that will be produced for the business.
