Nice guide. I'm trying to get my wife to use Emacs and she has been struggling to make sense of the built in tutorial (as a point of reference, she had practically never used any computing device other than a cell phone before a few years ago). I'll send it to her and see what she thinks.
You may ask, "Why the heck are you getting her to use emacs???". I started doing consulting this year and initially for tax reasons decided to have my wife run the company (while I did the programming). It has worked out spectacularly in that my wife loves the job and I can concentrate only on working with the clients. We have to do double entry accounting, though. We're using ledger-cli which has great Emacs org-mode support, so I'm hoping to get her going on that.
