Chapter 9
Just like the book said!
This has been a feature-packed Chapter, but it gave us a good introduction to
some powerful capabilities we can put to work. Better take a good break before
tackling Chapter 3. It wouldn't hurt a thing to come back and go through this
Chapter once more before moving on, now that you know the plot.
