im also still very new to all the stuff - but i read a lot of (other/mql4) tutorials/ebooks and i can HIGHLY recommend you to just do the tutorial in detail.

i mean, take your time for each workshop - reconstruct the scripts & read all related links. try the scripts, modify them slightly and whatever.

the tutorial is just great (not only for learning) but the whole way it is designed makes u learn it very fast. one could also say the autor of this tutorial cares a lot about cognitive ease.

just do it
