I write tutorials for complete beginners.

The first rule for me is easy, what would someone want to learn that has never touched the program before.

I don't treat people as experts, or talk down to them like children, but I do give enough info to get things going, and most importantly want to do more.

I once wrote an entire computer course in 6 days for wordprocessing, databases, spreadsheets, working in an office environment etc. That was done after working during the day. It was put into beta testing on the 7th day, and needed only a few changes to go into use. Day 8 it was up and running, with qualifications.

I've seen too many tutorials that say they are easy to do and then after page one you are lost in jargon and complicated stuff.

Nope, small steps, leads to larger steps = a happy user.

All the best.
