Thank you very much for this link! We (I and students) are creating a tutorial about Programming Wikidata in Russian Wikiversity and English Wikiversity. See our courses: https://ru.wikiversity.org/wiki/Programming_Wikidata https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Research_in_programming_Wikidata
In this year we are continue to write materials in these courses and we started the project in which we are writing the book in PDF with content from these courses. See GitHub project https://github.com/componavt/wd_book (Now this project contains fragments of the book in Russian, in LaTeX format). If you are interested, then we can discuss joint writing of this book. I think that it will be better to discuss it in spring or summer, when some text in English will be ready.
