One of the new useful tools in VWD2012/13 is Page Inspector which allows to see HTML and CSS elements on the page as they refer to their code thus easily focusing on different parts of HTML-development. The main feature of HTML-development (that includes CSS and various scripts on HTML pages ranging from JavaScript to ASP.NET scripts) is that all of them are sufficiently independent and unlike programming, when change in one place might affect the whole logic in another, allow for local tweaking with only local effects. Later you will see how CSS allows for global behaviors but HTML is all about local tags and their modification. Each tag is responsible for some specific element (though sometimes could show certain nesting effects like list tag for list items).
Page inspector uses this property and allows forward and reverse viewing when you point on the element on the page and see the code that affects it (and can change it right there) or you point at the code and see highlighted element on the page or right in the live browser.
The advanced learners in this class that want to maximize their skills/knowledge for the time/money invested will periodically have learning enhancement options as additional exercises (like following the link above and doing some experiments that could be shown on additional screenshots and commented in the proper forum along with the mandatory exercise) the results of which they can show in places of the regular tasks but commenting on additional efforts that they make. This is good for your knowledge, skills, and final grade which considers effort and attendance. If you do not do these additional exercises but will fully complete the mandatory tasks described in the week's tasks post - you grade will not be lower and actually will be the same as for those who did this extra work (until the final course effort evaluation).
