I think that we've all had to begin at the beginning.  I know that I
did.  I also asked some very newbie questions in the beginning, and
compared to other questions here, I still may.  Don't let the "more
advanced" questions some are asking put you off.  Otherwise I may
not be able to help anyone myself.

My suggestion is to do your reading and then ask your newbie
questions here.
