I certainly appreciate the comments, everyone. I intended for the article to be an introduction to Dijkstra's algorithm with the tone being less technical and more casual with the hopes of spurring in the budding developer further research into the algorithm and graph theory in general.

Like every post/article, this has been an exercise in finding the appropriate tone, subject, depth of content, etc. I have taken everyone's comments into consideration so far; they'll motivate me to revise my approach to writing, both in this article and subsequent articles.

Thanks again for the read :D And your time in commenting!
