This was AWESOME!...so informative and not easily available ( at least, that I could find ) elsewhere. Excellent teaching points and well-thought out, descriptive usage examples.

One constructive suggestion: Drop using the word "so" so much...LOL! Check out other tutorials to see how presenters alternately handle moving from one point to the next.
