Alun,

Welcome to the lecture.

I will indeed be doing more, though not in as rapid order as last week.  I think last week's lecture 
is a pretty substantial grounding in Classes and Events.  Anyone who works all the way through those 
lectures will pretty much know their way around.  What comes next is "what do you use these 
newfangled things for".  Believe me the applications are endless, and the next lectures are where we 
get really useful.  The theory is pretty dry and sometimes hard to understand, but the application 
is FUN.
