Very Basic Creating Filters Tutorial for very first FF beginners

Have found this tutorial made for explaining how to create a very simple filter in Filter Forge for very first beginners and thought that it could be useful to someone so I put it here

Baahh! It's so basic they didn't cover non-linear workflows! That's a hyper important part of FilterForge and it's basic construction of filters.

That's the problem, it's too basic that it doesn't get anywhere. Any node-based workflow is a non-linear interface. So what would be a appropriate would be to teach people how to think in a non-linear fashion. I mean, sure in the end everything you do would be "linear." The signal can flow in one direction, it doesn't flow backwards or forwards (at least for now) and so yeah, I guess it's important to teach people how to go in one direction. But I think that's the problem with teaching people stuff like this.

I've done little seminars on node-based interfaces and I realized that it's important to teach people the true awesomeness of non-linear workflows because most people are NOT used to thinking like that and a basic workflow should incorporate such schemes.

I donno, in the end I'm just being too critical about a beginner tutorial. But I'm kinda saying things out of experience.

I think that maybe this could be the key to making better filters and something that as you say well, most people does not even know that there is a linear and non-linear workflow
