Nice content! Thanks for putting it in more easy words.

If I could give you a suggestion, a better way of showing it could be better. Like some slides, or colors. Something that made more friendly to read. Although the content is good, scanning it do not made me want to read right way.

Anyway, thanks!

Although the content is good, scanning it do not made me want to read right way.

This is the exact feeling I have and were it not for the HN comments, I would have closed it without actually reading the content.

I will most likely be making slides (on SlideShare) for the next one and it will probably be on Wordpress instead of blogger.

I don't think either of these things will provide a solution that the above is looking for. The problem is with the layout of your content and the fact that write like a math professor. I imagine you scare a lot of people off with a ton of math symbols at the opening, maybe leave that for later, or explain it all in plain English instead of using symbols.

I will try doing that, its just that when I look at math articles, I look for symbols not words :)

But, I'll definitely do that in the next one and see what the response is.

You should probably use symbols after an "in plain english" description. I'm not too sure what the solution is, but the content was good once I decided to actually read it.

I'll do that for the next one, glad you enjoyed it!

To confuse the issue further, I very much appreciated the format. I've found it much easier to get a better understanding of things like this when it's well-written text instead of slides. Slides that try to stand alone without supporting text (either spoken or written) tend to present a collection of facts without adequately explaining the concepts behind the facts (or the slides contain way too much text).

Hmmm... maybe I'll have slides AND text?
