honestly some of the ways they have you do things can be confusing so i wouldnt recommend these for beginners.. in all 3 of the tuts ive done from that list ive had to find a different way to do a couple steps.
Some of them arent too difficult. Also or cnc, the background words i think would look better with a diff font and also a smaller font. If you have a smaller font, the XDC would be easier to read
