Thanks everyone, I'm extremely happy that everyone thinks it's a worth while article. It's defiantly inspired me to continue writing and I've already got a few more similar articles / tutorials in the works so be sure to check back soon.

Hey all I've just finished writing a new article / tutorial for my website, and I wanted to share it with you. Its mainly aimed at students and developers who might have lost some of their desire to improve, but hopefully everyone can find some inspiration from it.
