I really like the pseudo code example on this post - one of the clearest simplified explanations I've seen of how inference and training work.

Originally I had those parts written in math with probability functions and the likes (its closer to my background). Then I remembered who is my target audience... but now that I see exactly who is my target audience I'm thinking I'll should have snuck a pelican in there. All jokes aside I appreciate the comment and I'm glad that rewrite paid off!
