New FF user -> any advice as to great tutorials?

What would make trial users want to stick with it and actually buy it is a really good basic starters guide which would include 30 tutorials from basic userface to maing comlex textures

Suggest a new filter.
Author: Skybase. The style portrayed by the filter in question is somewhat possible via a tutorial I've made years earlier. It's a common cartooning style filter. However, the flat, bold, geometric look would be more of the challenge here and likely something that would be difficult to do in FilterForge at this point in time. The tricky part ...

Anybody interested in a loops tutorial?
...
I have been trying and working with the new loops and have been trying to make something with it but only got very simple things, and do not know how to use and combine the different slave components that are available with the loops.
Having a tutorial about loops, specially from a expert like you, would be very good and useful, and I like the tutorials you have done.
And I think that would be useful for many other non expert filter forger users.
Thanks very much
