A bit of helpful feedback

I feel a bit like I was thrown to the deep end by this video. Seems quite a big jump from the material that came before. Perhaps you guys could break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks, so that it's easier to wrap one's head around. Just my little input here. Really enjoyed the previous content though!

I was in the exact same boat. I ended up skipping that section and coming back to it a little later on. I also raised it, like you have, so hopefully it will be updated at some point.

Totally agree with this. I was cruising along feeling very confident in the full stack javascript track until I ran into this course. I replayed the video several times to try and digest the concepts, but felt the jump was too big for any "ah hah" moments.

Absolutely agree. I was feeling pretty discouraged trying to wrap my head around these concepts. Was a bit relieved when I saw many others in the same boat.

Kind of feels like trying to run before you can crawl.

Hey Jamie, Thanks for your post. I'm glad you agree and yes, hopefully Treehouse does something about this. Come on guys, we love you but you can do better in this section! Break it up into smaller chunks and maybe replace all the reading here with more videos, so that we get a better idea of what's happening!

This section has been extremely difficult and made my head spin. And if this is just 'intermediate' level, then I imagine the 'advanced' level is going to make my head blow.

This didn't do my sanity any favours...
