How do you get help while doing a code challenge. I mean like getting a hint or some direction to finding the solution?

The forums are a great resource - it's helped me out a lot!

I have also found that if I get really confused or stuck, and the hints doesn't help, I just go back to the previous video and review what he talked about. Usually, the answer is very plainly stated as he goes through the steps of building up the codes. If you are unsure at what point of the video the answer might be, you can search through the transcriptions and skip to where he starts talking about it.

It's been helpful for me to take notes as I learn. It really reinforces the concepts and I don't have to go back to review the video, thus saving time.

The code challenge tells you if you have a problem with your code. Sometimes it tries to point you in the right direction. In some cases you can put the code into Workspaces and see if it works as expected.

Then if you are still having questions you can always post any code you've got to the forum to get pointed in the right direction.

I've often found help by searching for the title of the code challenge (or the actual question) on the forums. Folks here are also pretty good about helping but not spoiling.

Good luck!

These are great ideas, thanks everyone for your help!
