Learn Step by Step Through Practice

Do you know how OpenClassrooms' courses work?

Each course follows a logical progression, broken down into 3 or 4 parts. Each part contains several chapters, which it's best to follow in order.

In the chapters, you'll find:

  • Written text to help you go further into the subject, providing a recap of the video content and further explanations with practical examples. It introduces you to specific tools and lists external resources you can consult or files to download. 

  • Screencast tutorials (demonstration videos), where Graham will show you, step by step, how to go about important points of the course on his own computer.

  • Exercises where you can put your new knowledge into practice - very important to speed up the learning process!

At the end of each part of the course, you'll find:

  • quiz to confirm what you've learned.

Before we start, here's some advice on how to use the content of this course and optimize your learning:

  1. Read the chapter text to understand the main concepts.

  2. Watch the screencast demonstrations to understand how to apply these concepts, practicing what you see step by step.

  3. Take every opportunity to try things out for yourself. Invest extra time into the concepts and tasks that prove to be the most difficult for you.
