[NTG-context] Re: As a person with very basic LaTeX skills, no experience with programming languages and an interest in LMTX (I have been coding extremely basic LMTX), how do I properly learn LMTX as a beginner to any coded language?

I have a question for Hans: will Hraban's book deal with specialist issues

Thank you in advance
Tommaso
