How come each video has its own workspace?

In the first course I liked how each video built upon the previous one, and how everything was concise and how you actually had to do coding yourself to see how things worked. This course and the previous CSS course just seems like everything is just provided for you to look over.

Guess I just really liked the format of the HTML Basics course a bit better because you could code along with it easier.

Oh well, you will still be able to complete the course just fine! If you need any help with setting up a local environment to program in then don't hesitate to ask!

You can just ignore the message and keep using the one workspace.

Hi Jordan!

If you don't like the format of the course and how it gives you the code to look over try writing the code out in your own text editor and following along first. After that you can then use the supplied code to see if what you have done is correct.

Hi Jordan Hill,

The CSS Selectors course isn't a project-based course like How to Make a Website or CSS Basics. It's more of a "deep dive" into many of the most useful CSS selectors.

seems like everything is just provided for you to look over

I'm not sure what you mean by this. In the course, we write out every selector to see how they target elements. :)

I follow along and grasp the concepts pretty easily, but even the CSS Basics course was the same way to me, requiring a new workspace for every video with files already in. Was just wondering why the videos aren't laid out in the same way. Its growing on me though, and I actually surprised myself the other day with how much I have actually retained from the CSS Basics course.

Thanks for the response Guil :)
