Where do I start?

I think I've found the biggest part of the learning curve is the vocabulary.

For example, I'm working on a data set for the old Twilight 2000 ruleset and it has a master skill list, and some of those could be selected as "background" skills and I'm currently working on making a portal on a tab that will allow someone to pick one and have it add skill points to their character. The hardest part of going through the authoring kit is even formulating the question to ask, using the right vernacular - or understanding the answer.

I've gone through half of the example and I'll complete the other half, but it can be a fairly intimidating wall of text until you're somewhat savvy in it.
