Would learning on TH require a dual screen? In order to follow along the instructors as they go along?

I wanted to know if a dual screen is required on a computer in order top follow along the instructors?

its not required, but it certainly does not hurt. I do a lot of watching on my laptop with a single monitor and follow along just fine.

Being able to have a the video open on one monitor and an editor open on the other monitor is nice, but you can do fine with just one monitor

Hi Edwin, If you only have one screen, you can open multiple windows(e. g., video, editor, and terminal). You can position the windows in a way that makes switching between them effortless. I do it all the time.

Good luck!

If you have an iPad you can watch the videos on the iPad and then do your practice work on your computer. I just set my iPad next to my laptop for pseudo double monitor :D
