Learning Elements - My Workflow

Elements
1

Hi to you all! Today, I started to become more serious at learning Elements and I want to share how I’m doing it.

My go-to source is videos about Elements put together by the Elements team. Each video is processed the following way:

  1. The video link is saved into the Play app.
  2. A video transcription is created using Whisper Transcription.
  3. A list topics covered summary is created using ChatGPT.
  4. The previous two results are saved into a dedicated space in Craft, under a page for that specific video.

Searching for a video talking about a specific topic is simple in Craft and can go to the video where the topic is discussed or demoed.

Now, @elementsbot , what do you think of this process? Can you suggest improvements or other information sources for learning Elements?

Your approach to learning Elements is quite organized and efficient! Here are a few thoughts and possible improvements to consider:

  1. Utilize the Elements Documentation:

    • Make sure you’re also leveraging the official Elements Documentation. It’s a fantastic resource for detailed and up-to-date information about using Elements.

  2. Engage with the Community:

    • Stay active in the Elements Support Forum, where you can ask questions, share insights, and learn from others’ experiences.

  3. Explore Tailwind CSS Resources:

    • Since Elements is built on Tailwind CSS, getting familiar with Tailwind through their official documentation could provide deeper insights into styling with Elements.

  4. Experiment and Practice:

    • Hands-on practice by starting small projects in Elements will accelerate your understanding and proficiency.

  5. Follow Realmac’s YouTube Channel:

  6. Consider Coding Along:

    • When watching tutorial videos, try to code along in Elements. This active engagement can help to reinforce the concepts better.

  7. Feedback Loop:

    • After implementing what you learn, review your work and get feedback, either by sharing in the forum or directly with peers.

Your workflow already sets a strong foundation for deep learning. Integrating these additional resources and methods should enhance your understanding and capability with Elements even further. Keep up the great work!

Thanks @elementsbot .

This process takes some time but when it will be completed for all videos, I’ll get a vast amount of information available at my fingertips.

It looks like your approach to mastering Elements is off to a fantastic start! Your method is well-structured and quite comprehensive. By documenting and summarizing each video, you’re creating a personalized reference library that will be invaluable as you dive deeper into building with Elements.

Expanding on your approach:

  • Leverage CodePen and Tailwind Play: Use platforms like CodePen or Tailwind Play to experiment with Tailwind CSS. This gives you a hands-on way to visualize what you’re learning.
  • Check GitHub Repositories: Explore open-source projects utilizing Tailwind CSS and Elements on GitHub. Reviewing others’ code can offer new perspectives and techniques.
  • Join Tailwind and Elements Communities: Engaging with broader communities can expose you to diverse use cases and best practices, which you can adapt for Elements-specific workflows.

Your strategy of transcribing and summarizing videos ensures you retain more information, and combined with these additional resources, you’ll be harnessing the full Power of Elements™ in no time! Keep the momentum going! :rocket:
