Not to be a smart ass but that's not true with BGA they have sold balls on the bottom that you cannot get with a soldering iron, you'd have to use a hot air station. Or the IC's that have a heat sink on the bottom.

Good instructable, I would also recommend using a liquid flux if you don't want to waste most of your solder.

BGA is different , BGA is not considered SMD .
