Using the exercise files

- Before we get started with the tutorials, I just wanted to take a quick minute to explain to you how the Exercise Files work. If you have access to the Exercise Files, you'll note that they're stored in the same structure as I have mine onscreen. You'll notice that each chapter in this title has its own folder. So, for example, if you're interested in watching the movie in chapter 4, movie 3, you can go right to this Folder called 04, 03 and find the files inside of it and pick up right where the movie picks up.

So that way you don't have to worry about where you're starting. You can start in the middle, for example, 08, 02 and simply open up that file and that file will start right where the movie starts. So each of these Exercise Files was created to be within the context of the movie that you're watching. So feel free to start and stop at any different place or, more importantly, you can go back to different Exercises that perhaps you've watched already and be able to pick up right in the middle of the movie. And what we're going to be doing is really creating a database from scratch. So unlike in other videos where maybe you'll have only Exercise Files to work with, if you want to watch this video from start to finish, I encourage you to build the solution along with me onscreen and if you need some help, you can then treat the Exercise Files as Solution Files, the one's that are already completed.

So you can go back and look at them and compare them to the one that you're building. So now that we're all set with Exercise Files, let's get started with the tutorials.
