How to take the Lecture Video and the Lab in Certified Fullstack

1

Hello so im confuse what should i do in Lecture section should i watch it or code along. Because sometimes the lecture contains interesting code,
and what about the lab it is okay to use vscode

You can code along the lecture video if you want to practice(that’s definitely recommended).

It’s totally okay. You can use VS Code or any code editor you want.
Once you’re done, you can paste your code into freeCodeCamp to see if it works and passes the tests.

Here’s what worked for me, when watching the lecture videos, I usually do a quick first watch just to get the overall concept. Then, if the code is interesting, I’ll go back and code along during a second viewing. It really helps the ideas stick better when your hands are on the keyboard too, not just passively watching.

For the labs, it’s Okay to use VS Code, it’s closer to what you’ll use in real-world projects, but make sure you try to recreate the lab environment as closely as possible, so you don’t miss anything important.

At the end mixing both approaches ==> watching first, coding second.
