4. Intro: How to use this Book
   1. Who is this book for?
      1. Who should probably back away from this book?
   2. We know what you’re thinking.
   3. And we know what your brain is thinking.
   4. Metacognition: thinking about thinking
   5. Here’s what WE did:
   6. Here’s what YOU can do to bend your brain into submission
   7. Read Me
      1. We use simple UML-like diagrams.
      2. We don’t cover every single Design Pattern ever created.
      3. The activities are NOT optional.
      4. We use the word “composition” in the general OO sense, which is more flexible than the strict UML use of “composition.”
      5. The redundancy is intentional and important.
      6. The code examples are as lean as possible.
      7. The Brain Power exercises don’t have answers.
