haha sure! , if you get stuck with a problem just post it to Community forum and people will try and help you asap , you will get the hang of it eventually just keep going through the track/course and write some notes down on a piece of paper as you go along (this helps me remember stuff!)

I am afraid I need a bit of remedial help before I can get through the track/course. Is there such thing as super remedial? Every time I leave the environment where you "code" I loose what I have done....
