Would have benefited from not trying to be DRY

I think this section was a big jump from anything before, and I had to spend a lot of time on it.

A suggestion would be to not have tried to make it DRY, save that for the 'perfect' section.

It is quite a tricky course that's for sure and although it precedes the recent JavaScript Basics courses I do see it as a massive jump.

I want to go back to it to add it as a Portfolio projec so my advice is to take all the time you need to understand the concepts taught as although it is tricky it certainly is a useful course in teaching you how JS can be used to make sites interactive. :-)
