I'm glad the tutorial was helpful.  There are plans to write a
book or two, including a complete tutorial, but they probably
won't get going until Q4 of this year.

If you want to e-mail me with any questions, I'll do my best to
answer them; the feedback will be useful when I get round to
a proper treatment of the subject.

Don't be put off by the reference manual.  It really is a reference
and even experts can find parts of it somewhat opaque.

Heh, if I wasn't already employed I could freelance as a
consultant at this rate :)
