Thank you! :) Those look like they will be of great use to me.

Function-level documentation is immensely helpful, but it can be hard to piece it all together. I'm hoping to find a crash course that will allow me to make some practical progress before I get too demotivated. Perhaps I just need more experience RTFMing.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I know resources are always limited. I just expected that such a popular open source project would have a lot more community-based documentation. The few tutorials I've found so far have all claimed a lack of tutorials/documentation for the motivation in being written. -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl.
