Yeah, I've been going through that documentation in my free time at work (3 
yrs of Computer Engineering so far, and all I'm given by my co-op employer 
is 3-4 hours of AutoCAD work each day, if that).  Seriously, if anyone is 
looking for a good Computer Engineer in a year or so, I'm actually looking 
for a job where I do meaningful work all 8 hours of the day!

Anyways, enough with the not-quite-shameless plug for a job...

I'm up to the beginning of the Advanced tutorial, and I'm definitely happy 
with the level of detail/experience the tutorials offer (if you type it all 
in yourself rather than copying and pasting all the code).

Thanks for the advice--if you come across any more good beginner 
tutorials/docs, please post them!!
