Introduction

Welcome to this class on Dotlan!

(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering relevant experience level and background.) We have a few ground rules for this class:

Please put your Mumble settings on 'Push to Talk' if you have not already done so.
Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.]
