Can someone explain the teaching concept behind this course?

Hi Arikaturika,

I don't know which course exactly you are referring to because the breadcrumb list for your question just says "CSS", but I assume you mean the "CSS Layout Basics" course, right?

I would say the "jumping around" serves in explaining the different concepts and how different CSS properties affect the layout. If Guil would only show one way you would only learn that one way of layout technique. But there are so many possibilities to build a layout... So many that it can be actually quite frustrating, so I feel your pain in that.

For me personally the layout courses were the ones that I had to repeat over and over again the most.

One thing I would reccomend (especially for challenging topics) is different learning sources for the same topic. Learning one topic from different sources actually helped me a lot. Some sources eplain one topic especially well while others are explained better somewhere else. At least that's how I experience it. Also switching from video explanations to written explanations sometimes can be a big help. If you feel stuck at a certain CSS topic I would always reccomend the Mozilla Developper Network and CSS tricks.

Also make sure to ask questions here about specific things you do not understand!

I understand that sometimes one wants to blurt ones general frustration but in the end it is working through the issues one by one that will slowly progress your understanding.

No idea if that helps.

I wish you all the best in your learning experience!
