Function Point Simple Introduction

I keep meaning to post Galorath’s Ton Dekker concise  introduction to Function Points. Ton is an expert in IFPUG Function points as well as COSMIC Function Points and a host of other functional sizing measures.   I always appreciate Ton’s simple and clear approaches.
