Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Phergie as the subject of your assignment. Natalie, I couldn't agree more. Looking at real-world code should definitely be a much bigger part of formal education than it presently seems to be. I think the assignment given to Tavish is an excellent one for that reason. :) Tavish, I’m very glad you published your findings online for others to read and learn from.

English students read "real" books, don't they? Art students look at "real" art. Business students look at case studies of real businesses. Why is all the code we look at written solely for the purpose of having us look at it? It’s kind of crazy to think of how seldom we work with code from the outside world while in school.
