There is actually no real need for usage of Classes. The notion, that they could be useful comes eventually with longer programming experience and/or with growing size of the code library. If you can avoid to learn about them, at least at the beginning, take the chance - it will save you much trouble and help to get things done. I for myself try to avoid classes where I can, especially inheritance, because I consider the latter in most cases evil. There are sure many others who can't imagin to program without classes, so don't conclude that there is a contradiction here - it's just the question of taste and not of necessity. I suggest, you learn as much as you can about a list and a dictionary first and if you have got the idea how to use the latter, you have learned more or less also what a Class is.
