Using the exercise files

I'm very happy to announce that any member of the lynda online training library, whether premium, monthly or annual, has access to the exercise files used throughout this title. Naturally, the information in this course is ultimately intended to be applied to your own web pages. However, you may find it helpful to work with the supplied exercise files to practice the steps safely, and without creating your own examples. To begin using the files from the site, download them, extract them, and then store those files in a convenient location, such as your desktop.

The exercise files folder is organized by chapter, and the chapters are broken down into the various lessons. Within the lesson folders, there are a series of items that make up the practice files. Typically HTML, CSS images, Javascript, and so forth. In most lesson folders, you'll also find a final folder and that contains the files showing the completed lesson, which you can open and explore at your leisure. You can either follow the whole course, chapter by chapter or jump in at any point. If you'd rather not use the exercise files, you can definitely follow along with your own assets.
