Feedback Appeciated From All

I get feedback from my introductory class, but not so much from other people.  I am looking to make this tutorial work for as wide a group as possible.  I would really appreciate the questions and comments of others, too, so I can improve it as much as possible.  Do not be shy!  (aharrin <atsign> luc <period> edu)  If you write about your experience, please briefly let me know your background and learning situation.  Thanks.  If you have suggestions for me, please let me know if I may mention you in the change log in case I make changes suggested by you.
