Sorry for the delay in getting these notes up to the site. I took them on a wonderful Mac program called Notebook, that exports beautiful HTML, but it took me longer than expected to get code blog ready – which just isn’t working. Click here to open my notes in a new window. The arrows should work to collapse/expand content cells.
