Same question as a few below! I tried changing my package name to exclude capitals but it then causes other errors. I will try to find a neat way to post the code ASAP.

Treehouse TeacherYep, you can't have capital letters in your package name. And, while it is possible, it's kind of a pain to change your package name after the fact. It's probably easiest to just start over with a lowercase package name, and then copy/paste over all the files.
Also, somehow you've found the older version of this course. Here's a link to the newer version if you're interested :)
