I don't know any really good examples which were able to demonstrate 
what Classes are good for and I am in programming already for decades.
There is actually no real need for usage of Classes. The notion, that 
they could be useful comes eventually with longer programming experience 
and/or with growing size of the code library. If you can avoid to learn 
about them, at least at the beginning, take the chance - it will save 
you much trouble and help to get things done. I for myself try to avoid 
classes where I can, especially inheritance, because I consider the 
latter in most cases evil. There are sure many others who can't imagin 
to program without classes, so don't conclude that there is a 
contradiction here - it's just the question of taste and not of 
necessity. I suggest, you learn as much as you can about a list and a 
dictionary first and if you have got the idea how to use the latter, you 
have learned more or less also what a Class is.
