Correct answer Nancy OShea

Work through the lessons once, twice or more to get comfortable with the concepts and coding.

Create some practice files to work with by going to File > New > New Document (select type) > Hit Create button.

When you are able to create code manually without referring to the textbook, you're ready to move on to real projects.

by the way...

I have nothing to proove... nor defend... nor protect... ... this thread start just because someone say... "Oh well something else 99% of developers don't need to get involved in"... and I answer... "I don't think that because that you don't use it, means that developers don't need it"...

and I never say... no where... that this way or that one is bad...  or wrong... or negative...

I just try to open mind to something else or different...

it strange that most of the feedback try to reduce what I propose... I just propose it... free to you to use it ... or not... but others folks around here can have a different vision...

Hi Again Nancy,

RE; DW CC 'Classroom in a book' (2017 release)

Can you please clarify what seem like inconsistencies in the book and online version, the narrator distinctly says (page 150, item 7)

quote = type .row(space).nav.navbar-nav(space)>(space)li(space)>(space)a

But on the screen shots of both the book and the online images there are no spaces, as with the screen shot at the the bottom of page 151. The mouse over shows the above code without spaces.

The narrator makes a point of asking to check there are no spaces. (although some are needed)

So how much of a difference will spaces make as I am having a few issues with styling the nav bar?

Thank you

Steve

I don't think that because that you don't use it, means that developers don't need it... but I'm probably wrong... arf arf !!!


Im not saying in all cases, in most cases.

Take an example, what real use is it, other than it can be used, in producing a color template for the DW editor where most seem to be built using less. Its a pointless workflow in a very  short css file. The majority of websites today use very short css files, perhaps consisting of a global css file and possibly  a specific page css file, which would not contain that much css.

On the other hand if youre working for the  UK government type of  site where there are extensive pages and extensive css there is possibly a use for such a workflow but these types of website account for very few in the real world.

You probably need to see a doctor about that nasty cough of yours...
