There is likely a considerable amount of technicaal knowledge necessary. As a result, every effort is made toward clarity to give the brave soul attempting this for themselves the most opportunity to be successful. For more experienced coders, the commenting may be seen as clutter. Every effort has been made to ensure that the elements used are open source. Efforts have also been made to keep costs low, and free where possible. If a commercial element is significantly better for a "reasonable" price, it will be noted for those interested.
