I disagree. People need the tutorial and a good three years behind the keyboard. Thinking that instructional material is not a good idea is like thinking that a doctor shouldn't bother studying, rather he should just start operating on people. When I was very young, my brother tried to teach me to ride a bike. He said all you have to do is peddle, but I kept falling. My step father at the time saw that I was frustrated and told me that, "If you start to fall to one side, lean the other way a little bit". That bit of advice was all I needed, I then understood the need for balance and almost immediately I could ride my bike without falling. We learn from both studying and doing. For those of you that have experience learning foreign languages, you know exactly what I mean. When I took Japanese, having Japanese people to talk to really helped more than anything else, but I never would have learned to read and write without study materials.
