Thanks!

I'll have to muse about what the more dumbed down version would look like (as this version is already quite dumbed down compared to the primary sources). It wouldn't be quite a matter of saying "This code contains an abstraction, this other code doesn't," because (and this is quite important) abstraction is a pattern imposed on code, and not part of the code itself.

We do have a document with a number of examples of true abstraction — written in English, rather than code, in accordance with the above. It's normally reserved for our paying students, but, if you E-mail me, I'll send it to you anyway — my contact information easy to find.



Thanks a lot for the offer, I just emailed you :)
