It just has a bunch of words without many examples and never seems to get to the meat of things. This particular question does not appear to be answered there for example. Perhaps it is, somewhere in all that, but I couldn't find it. The other tutorials actually show me how to get things done. Most of it is quite straight forward. Where they glaze things over and I can't figure it out on my own, I look for other resources and when I can't find my answer I ask.
