Now, I can't say I'm understanding all the details, but I do think I'm starting to get the concepts and a feel for how it all works now.
The #gamedev angle is definitely better for keeping my interest than the usual "Hello World" tutorials, though not as straightforward. YMMV but this better suits my learning style.
