You beat me to it. I wanted to call him out on this. It's quite annoying that they'd tell you "I'm very interested in learning it" yet they don't really get that it's more of reading than practical here and if they can't follow simple instruction, how then can they be able to learn?

 To the op, I'd advise you check the links @hd49728 kindly dropped for you as that will help give you a head start.
