    Hi. Echo everyone’s thanks for your efforts pulling this together. Sitting exam soon and this will be invaluable. You mention a PDF pulling it all together. Would be great to have that for use offline on my iPad or laptop when I have no internet connection. Did you produce the PDF, or did you guys decide to leave it all online? Thanks again.
