Many people didn't understand what path/toyour/file.css means. I'll provide some more information after the meetup.

Thanks for reporting this feedback! It's great to know what needs to be improved.

Made the same experience. Fixed the paths several times. My suggestion: We should extend the setup process with a step that explains how to create/order/save the very first project. in that step we even could show them good practice in how to structure directories and so on.

Maybe like that:

  1. To keep your project clean and tidy, create a new folder for your project. Name it 'my_portfolio'. (I've seen some reeeeally chaotic desktops where the files got lost easily)
  2. Now open your editor (e.g. Sublime Text 2) and open a new file.
  3. Save this file in the folder you've created above and name it 'index.html'. (that way we can ensure that they get the syntax highlighting and indentation features)

And so on… Make smaller, simpler steps that are easy to follow.
