Note: I haven't read the reddit link above) I recently (2 weeks) begun working with a total neophite to St and there is a lack of proper Tutorial/Documentation to get you started doing something.
When I say that there is a lack, I mean that this person (who is well versed in looking up stuff on the internet) couldn't find proper material for getting started. (whether this material does not exist or exists but is difficult to find, I don t know) And it's not have been the first time this happened to me. So far, my best (fluid, straightforward) experiences learning St has been when someone else taught me.
