Yeah... I was trying to be funny by calling it "A 3rd Grade CLASS"... Mission failed, I suppose. I have no strong emotional attachment to it, or any other use of the word "class" in that context. I'll change that sometime next week (or of course anyone else is invited to do it for me).

And I'm definitely not advocating that this become the new Classes document, I wrote it to be the new introduction. As Fredrik suggested, it might work if my new stuff was just inserted in front of the current intro. The stuff in the current intro is useful, and should be around somewhere, but a new reader probably shouldn't be assaulted with scopes and namespaces before seeing a single example of a simple class.

Well, it's just IMHO and all - maybe others would disagree. I suppose this is the difficulty of writing or evaluating a tutorial, you're always trying to put yourself in someone else's shoes. I've added an alternative intro anyway, if you'd like to consider it. (it's at the end)

Yeah, I like yours better. Feel free to put it in, I've got to go study!
