I would consider myself intermediate just because I know there is so much more 
that I do not know.  I agree with Mr. Ritter that some "Best Practices" would 
be nice to know.

A big real situation in my world is Shopping Carts for on-line e-commerce 
stores.  There are so many carts, but I have yet to find one that is really 
good.  Probably the most important part of any shopping cart is the database. 
I would be interested in seeing that used as a case study.
