That's what I like about your tuts is that you teach us how simple code is. LIke you said, other tutorials make it seem so complicated. Thanks Anthony!

Why did you put the object declaration outside of main?

[maxnovikov]

always better to make the setter to return boolean value, in case if in the future you will want to make some condition for the name.
Example:

public boolean setName(String name){
    this.name = name;
    return true;
}

I'm confused, in the getName this statement, why does it return the local "name" that is set by the setName Method and not the null value in the global "name" that was initially declared?
