Heh. I thought that would help you out. It might be worth it to go through
the whole tutorial. I haven't seen that one before, but what I read of it is
very crisp and clear. After that, I'd highly suggest reading the book "Design

java. "Design Patterns" will give you the "why".With an understanding of
mechanics and design, you can be highly effective.My 2c.C> Date: Fri, 27 Jun
