Things you learn while trying to learn

So, I'm working on v0.2 of my widget and trying to learn widget development as I go. In addition to learning widget development, I learned something that I learn pretty much every time I'm learning a new language/platform. When you're trying to learn what's what and you're copying from some sample code to try to get something working, it's better to take the extra minute to understand things and not just go copy/paste crazy and screw up your whole project.
