So it’s a good idea to just read through once now, get an overview, then you can go through again if you’re looking for that extra depth. If there are any terms or questions you have, we’re pretty sure the answers are in our In more depth / FAQs section at the bottom of this guide or some of the many linked articles and tutorials throughout.
