Writing a component creation tutorial

Hello all,
in the last few months I gathered a bit of experience in creating component,s so I thought it might be useful to others to (try to) summarize what I learnt.
I wrote the first part of the tutorial, you can find it here, I just went through the basic concepts so far, but indeed I may expand to more advanced ones if someone finds it useful.
The page can be found here : http://www.powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_1.html
Please feel free to send remarks, suggestions etc.

Hello, as promised, part 7 is out ( here http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_7.html ).
In this lesson I guide the reader in the creation of a CSV input component.
Part 8 will focus instead on output components, we will create one of them.
Also, with a processing component (has both input and output) we will show how it is possible to output less records than the ones in input.
I would be happy to receive some honest feedback from you so I can adjust accordingly for the next lessons.
