>Only after 5 hours and a few peeking into the solution document that I was able to get it to work...but still...while I am reading the code this morning, I'm still not sure that I understand what's going on in the javascript file and unsure I could do it again without any solution document.

coding in java is quite simple. first of all , you need to understand the rudiments , get to learn the basics and then carry on from there. Do not rush it. No one learns programming in a day.

I would advice you also get a tutor asides your online tutor, that way you can ask sound and important questions when ever you get confused so that when you are less busy you can continue with your online instructor.

I wish you best of luck as you venture into this interesting field of coding. Have fun!
