I usually suggest a step by step guide to people who are new, in this I suggest building existing packages from source and updating existing packages before creating a new package from scratch.

Also starting with _javascript_ packages makes a lot of automations to make things easier for new people. Once they pick basics of packaging with js, they can start with other packages easily.
