All ...

I am so happy to see the manual coming together, and the content getting
filled in!

First, I know that we had originally planned to build a single app
successively through the chapters, but in practice, this is turning out
to be less useful and instructive than original thought. I suggest we
abondon this approach so we can focus each chapter on what is useful.
Thoughts?

Second, after looking over the document, I think we can make it flow
pretty well by breaking it in 2 major parts. Below is my suggested
layout. Please let me know what you think ....

Thanks all.

Cheers, Rick
