New to Pd

Hi, I just downloaded Pd and started reading about it. I feel like a monkey with a shotgun - I know it's powerful, but I have no idea what to do with it! What would be my quickest path to Pd proficency?

Pd comes with a series of help files that are also runnable Pd patches.

I learned a tremendous amount about computed music just by going through each one slowly and carefully.
