I guess take this into consideration if time isn't a real factor (however, I'm sure it is). In my experience I found it best to start learning with the configuration files only then use the GUI. The GUI's are very nice and handy, but sometimes I feel they lack what you could do with manually creating your dial plan. Also you learn how to debug / troubleshoot problems by experimenting with it, I found that to be very helpful. Maybe build out your dial plan with the GUI so you can get your office up and running, then make a new context to experiment with doing things manually.
