At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I notice that the author focused on Lua and Haskell. While I think that both Lua and Haskell are useful languages, I think they are rather poor choices for beginners. Consequently, I think that the people who wrote the tutorials deserve the benefit of the doubt - I somewhat doubt that they wrote their tutorials for complete newbies!
