Tutorial Difficulty
All the tutorials here at SOTC have a difficuly level rating between 1 (really easy) and 5 (crazy hard). Most of our tutorials fall in the level 2-3 range, but watch out for the occasional level 4 or 5 tutorial.
Difficulty Level 1
Most of these tutorials are completely obvious after glancing through them. But hey, everyone has to learn the basics at some point - and we might as well make it as easy as possible.
Difficulty Level 2
These tutorials tend not to be immediately obvious, and generally serve as great reference material. We here at SOTC actually find ourselves referring back to these from time to time when we need to look up syntax and method names.
Difficulty Level 3
Now we are starting to get to stuff that actually deserve full blown tutorials. These posts are gnerally the ones that get the most questions.
Difficulty Level 4
Ouch. I just heard a thousand noobs reconsider their career choice. You don't want to enter these posts unprepared.
Difficulty Level 5
It's barely a tutorial at this point. More of an observation into the human condition.
