Interesting that this is being brought up because I was thinking about this very thing this morning. There appears to be lots of questions about the tutorial on the IRC channel and I can remember when I went through it again recently with someone there were a couple places where we felt like things skipped up in the flow. I started to think this morning that maybe I would go through it again and try to flesh out where the issues might be. It might just be a matter of moving a little too fast in places, or not provided good transition between the seques and the main track of the tutorial. Who knows.
I think it's good that it's being discussed.
