Glad you liked it! This is my first serious attempt at "literate programming" style writing; it did take many attempts re-arranging the functions in logical order for the prose to make sense.

In my previous writeups such as http://g0v.asia/tw/ , I've followed SPJ's "writing a paper" guidelines ( HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6989806 ) — almost to the letter — which was immensely helpful as well.



As a beginner, I second that praise.. . Putting those details, often stumbling blocks, in context and with explanatory links, means that even if I don't get everything the first time, I have a big picture to refer to and feel secure that I will eventually get it, and the effort isn't wasted.
