Not exactly sure what you mean. There's a "Launch Workspace" button at the bottom right of the video, it's an online editor that you can use to follow along with the course and practice.

58 PointsThanks Justin , yes I saw it . Do we write the video down on paper and then try it - maybe stop video and try - how do you do it thanks TIM

18,199 PointsPersonally I just put the video window on one side of my screen, and then put the workspace on the other side. That way I can write the code into the workspace while watching the video. If the lesson is going too fast I'll go ahead and pause it until I catch up. There are also speed controls on the video player in case the lesson is going too fast or too slow.

58 PointsThanks Justin, that is what I am thinking of doing. But I just want to start a <!DOCTYPE html> <html> I can see clearly now the rain has gone </html> I start a new file and name it but I cant type anything in the code window - only in the console and when i run it just comes up with - Hello world! This is HTML5 Boilerplate. I need to practice but it wont let me

I hope you have things sorted now. I am using a Mac and use a great utility called 'Bettersnap tool', This allows me to open the tutorial videos in chrome then 'snap' that window to half the screen. On the other half of the screen i then have my workspace open. This means i can view the videos and use workspaces at the same time. If i need to pause the video i can do that easily and continue to edit my workspace.
