LEDs controlled by speed-- Programming help!!

I apologize that it came off that way! I do want to learn and understand this programming, I simply need to learn as much as I can through this programming rather than learning properly through all of the tutorials since I have less time that could be desired for a newbie!

That link you provided is very helpful, thank you!

When you said PWM is that comparable to 'fading'? I was under the impression to use an AnalogWrite for that function rather than a DigitalWrite. Would you advise one being better than the other?

Again, I really appreciate you responding and any advice you could give! Thank you!
