Ive been working my way through the book, Build Mobile websites.
I have been finding it difficult to say the least.
In some places you discuss a concept, and give a code example, but it really has nothing to do with the app. The whole discourse on Modernizr, starting on P73 for example… I have no idea if Im supposed to add this or not… all the way to P77.
All of a sudden on P83, you have all the sprites shown, but I cant for the life of me figure out how and where they came from, there is no code explaining these…
In the code examples, it would have been helpful to maybe have line numbers so that I might know if something is new to what has been already done, or if its an addition, or what…
In the code examples, you only have 1 stylesheet (the final one) and one javascript (again the final one), so If I get totally lost, im screwed, I can choose to use the final one, or start over and try to recrate everything again… it would be great if you had all the files to each point in each folder, instead of just the HTML files.
I’m in the middle of chapter 4 at this point, and am completely confused. I have also been trying to use the learnable lesson, which goes by so flipping fast that I cant keep up with the typing, and the code used there diverges from the book significantly…
In the code examples, it shows excerpts from several different JS files and CSS files, but the code examples are only one JS or CSS file, it makes it very confusing when things dont work out correctly.
I’m going to restart and try again from the beginning and see if I can make this work. It is slow going and tough… I’m not having a lot of fun…
