Learning the names of the different parts of the software has been a little difficult (i.e: pane, tab, group.) I’ve worked in Excel before, so I’ve used similarly laid out software, but I didn’t know what each sub-group was called. These tutorials are very rewarding since they give enough information to gently guide you through each step the first time, and then give less instruction so that you can internalize it and puzzle pieces out if you forget where something is. It’s very satisfying to see things work how they’re supposed to. The visibility range for labels has been the most fascinating tool for me. I like how simple, yet useful it is. Chapter 3 was interesting because I recently saw a dashboard that must have been built the same way, and it was interesting to see it in action. It isn’t something I would have recognized before. Typing more on the PCs was also neat because I have worked almost entirely on laptops in the past, meaning the keyboard was kind of foreign to me; I’m used to flatter keys. I’m not sure why my screenshots are so blurry; they look fine on my computer, so maybe it’s something to do with WordPress.
