For this example, we're going to be modeling playing cards from a standard deck. Now, I implore you, as we go through this video, anything you don't understand, just let it wash over you the first time, okay, because there's some quite tricky concepts involved. And if you get hung up on every little thing that you don't understand, then it's going to break the flow of your learning about the bigger picture, okay? So that's just a little word of warning there. So we're going to start with class Card. Now, a class basically is a template or a cookie-cutter or a blueprint.
