He also decided to use XHTML 1.0 Transitional to teach us about CSS3, which is funny, since I'd think HTML5 and CSS3 would go hand-in-hand.
- Staring 2 minutes at HTML code that doesn't move while hearing a disembodied voice is a very bad start.
- Detailed, technical information with no visual cues to help support it. For example, explaining a separate stylesheet file (which he call "style PAGE", actually), with only the mouse cursor waving around on the screen.
- Too many non-useful details at first (non-supported features, difference in versions, etc.
- So Notepad isn't good enough, and the next step is Visual Studio? Geeze, try Notepad++ first, maybe?
- 6 minutes to get to actual HTML creation, almost 10 minutes to type in the first CSS code.
- Spending half a minute calling a CSS property "A key-value pair separated by a semi-colon", repeating it 3 times. What is this, kindergarden for programmers?
All in all, I stopped watching after 12 minutes, having learned more about this guy's bias towards Visual Studio than about CSS (or HTML for that matter).
