Just a quick question. Why is it the project files do not match what the instructor opens in the videos?

Not a huge deal but a bit frustrating if this was a lesson with a larger volume of code

I don't know the answer directly relating to your question, but this is most likely because these coding libraries are under ongoing development.

Code moves fast. This often means having to invest time staying on top of changes when you need them. It's likely that since the video was published the developers of the library have made intentional decisions to restructure the code, and this is why you're seeing the difference.

It's a challenge sites like TeamTreehouse have to face. When there are huge changes TTH do go over their videos and completely redo them, which is a great service. This have done this with the Android course when Google changed from using the Eclipse IDE to Android Studio.

Appreciate your reply Chris. Makes sense.

In the meantime, I seem to have found a workaround. What I will do is open up the workspace and then download the project from there rather than downloading the project files linked underneath the video. I just prefer to download the project and work on it locally on my computer rather than using the workspaces.
