From the course: CSS: Images

Exercise files

- [Instructor] To make it easy for you to follow along and to give you code snippets you can use in your own projects once you're done watching the course, I've created exercise files with examples in every single movie in the course. To download the exercise files, go to the GitHub repository for the course, place the folder anywhere on your computer and inside the folder you'll find all the exercise files structured based on the current chapter and movie you're looking at. So if you're looking at the fourth movie in the first chapter, you want folder 01_04b. The b signifies this is the beginning state of the code as I'm starting that movie. You can then do all your work in the b folder, make changes, experiment for what I'm showing you, maybe change some of the values to see what happens. And when you're done watching the movie, you can then check out the next folder, 01_04e, to see the end result of my code and compare it to your own. Two more important things. The images in the exercise files are different from the images I'm using in the course. There are two reasons for this. First, I didn't want to ship images because that would make the exercise files very large. And second, I want you to be able to swap out the images for any image you're working on. The entire point of this course is to see that you can use CSS to manipulate images without ever actually touching the image files themselves. So in the exercise files, I'm pulling images for an online API. You can either use those images as they are in the exercise files or you can replace them with your own images. And I actually recommend doing this for some of the exercises to get to work with their own image assets and see how these techniques affect your own image assets. Finally, there are no challenges in this course. Instead, I want you to challenge yourself on every single movie because every movie covers a different technique and a different application. So once you're done watching a movie, stop the movie, go sit with the code and figure out how you can use it to serve your needs. That's the whole point here. I'm giving you a bunch of different ways of doing things with CSS and the best way to learn it, is to apply it in practice in something that makes sense to you.
