Uh oh.. you read my blog ;o)

I need to post on there.

The syntax looks fine.

Basically when you are looking at '[]' type syntax all you need to
remember is that what is inside the []'s is a KEY. The Key denominates
what item is either set or retrieved from a Collection of objects.

So if you have collection[1] or collection["fred"] - essentially it
doesn't make any difference, because they key could be "1", or it
could be "fred", or it could be "dog", it could be "yoda is short" -
at the end of the day you could probably even make the Key any other
sort of object you desired.

It doesn't actually matter to you as a developer what is happening
under the hood.
(Well it does a little when you get into performance and searching
stuff, but right now it doesn't). All you need to remember is you pass
in a key to a collection, it maps that to a value it has stored, and
then it passes it out. Thassit.

Make sense?
