We all have to start somewhere, right?

Nobody learns without making mistakes -- your humble moderator especially! So, in honor of my many many Jess blunders, this page is dedicated to cataloging all the nasty things that happen to new students of Jess and how to fix them.

To make it fun and less embarrassing, here is a proposed classification scheme:

SevenDeadlySins	Things for which you will violate the ZenOfJess.
HeadSmackers	When you see Ernest's answer, you smack your head. (Terribly obvious -- no excuse, but educational nonetheless)
HeadHangers	The "what was I thinking?" kind of mistake. (i.e., wrong concept)
ForestForTheTrees	The answer was right in front of you. (i.e, common typos)
ReadTheDocs	The documentation says it all. Give the link or URL.
CannotGetThereFromHere	Related to Head-Hangers (i.e., dead-end implementations)
