Hi there, low-key self taught Pro user here, for just a few personal web projects. I really like what you did with the slider element, so I bought the Modern Sliders expansion and course. However, as someone whose daily activity doesn’t include diving deep into the settings of his website theme (and I’m not a n00b), this course seems to dive in at the deep end, and go from there. There’s no ‘getting started with modern sliders’ chapter other than the description of what this course is about.
What I’m missing is a structure of the course that’s suited for a learning curve. For example: I’m interested in building my own hero prompt slider. But when I start that course, it starts with the JSON schema that has been explained in another video, building a slider I’m not (that) interetsted in building (yet?). So there’s an implied freedom to choose your preferred slider build instructions, but it then starts in the middle of the learing curve.
Another example: where to apply the presets that I’ve downloaded from the site and uploaded into my preset manager? They’re for div elements, but the slider element (container, nav, pagination, slides) are not div elements. There’s probably a simple answer to this simple question -even if the answer provided in the documentation is only very general (please load in your template manager), the fact that here too the answer assumes you’re somewhere in the learning curve based on intimate daily knowledge and experience of this wonderful piece of code, and not for an average user like myself.
Third example (that must have been discussed internally) is that the course is video based only. With the advice to watch the video’s once and then again with your own site next to it to give it a try yourself. While I love the video’s, have you ever tried to simultaneously tried to click-code-scroll-type etc. and watch-pause-rewind-copy_what_was_typed_in_the_video to learn something? That only increases the learning curve as it adds extra navigational barriers that distract from the actual learning itself.
Now I understand that a course in writing is more difficult to protect from piracy. But I’ve already paid the $45 and a written tutorial of the steps make it SO MUCH EASIER to learn all the rgeat things you’ve built.
