When you're new to this, the guides are a lifesaver. They walk you through the basics step by step, so you don't have to guess or fumble around. I'd skim them once, then keep them open in a tab while you try things out. Actually read them, though—skipping ahead got me confused later. They explain the why, not just the what.
