[GNC] Using GnuCash as an Accounting Tutor

[Santhosh Paul]

I had zero knowledge of accounting when I came across GnuCash. (I used to
note down transactions and balances in a notebook.)

I was skeptical about whether I could use a double-entry software package
like GnuCash. I then came across a document titled "GnuCash Tutorial and
Concepts Guide". I found that it beautifully explained everything I needed
to start using GnuCash.

This was 2009, and I've never looked back.
