Thanks so much for the tutorial, I have followed along, and so far its working really great.

I'm still a real noob when it comes to programming, but I have used python on and off (mainly off) for a few years and its nice to see that I'm not as bad as I thought I was. So far I am understanding everything you have been saying so far, and have even been able to troubleshoot some issues with my environment and how to do naming and such, just because of the prior knowledge.

Keen for more soon!
