A Note on comments

You may spot a number of comments in this repository that look a little like this:

// tag::something[]
someCode()
// end::something[]

We use Asciidoc to author our courses. Using these tags means that we can use a macro to include portions of code directly into the course itself.

From the point of view of the course, you can go ahead and ignore them.
