Well, that was all a bit rushed.

Over the winter, I'd lost track of the deadline, so it was a bit of a mad panic when Darryl emailed me to say he was nearly ready for my chunk! Especially as I was due for a weeks sailing pretty shortly.

Got it done just in time (the morning of departure, of course). Probably the most difficult aspect was thinking of good examples that illustrated the required learning points with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of pizazz. The actual writing (including developing the examples) wasn't too bad, and really quite interesting. My only regret is not leaving enough time for the chunk to "settle" before submitting it. By which I mean, time for me to get away from it, then come back and review/edit it, as well as get feedback from 3rd parties. I did get one person to read through it, but as she knew I had only hours to finish it, I suspect she may have withheld any serious comments.

Apologies for the doc version of the file (I was in a hurry!). Here is the pdf version of chunk 12.

At last

Now completed my chunk (long story with no blog updates). Rather than trying to convert to the correct layout for this blog, here is a link to the word doc file:
