Out of the many comments I received about the most recent version, there were still some lacking areas.

However, there are some significant issues with my most current Star Rating tutorial and I have always wanted to take another go at it.

I had stayed away from McDonald’s so long, that it made me long for a grease-soaked, salty box o’ fries. It made me want a huge Coke. It made me want a McGriddle.

    Lets make one…
