How To Use

As the author of this template I myself have used it a lot already and everytime I find something new I need in a book, I add it to this template. So, what I suggest you do is you really start fresh, creating a new folder and adding only what you need, otherwise I find it tough to keep track of what you have changed, added or deleted. Have fun coding!
