This title says “Newbie Questions”, and I see no questions. The question that is implied is “Could you Firehose my Brain Please?”, which the answer is no. It would be in bad form to drown someone who wants to learn this virtual wizardry.
I hate giving this answer, as I hate getting this answer, but it’s the honest truth - Use the Search. That magnifying glass up to the right. I’m not posting this to be an ass, in all truth - Welcome! You just don’t realize… how big all this is yet. All the programs you’ve mentioned, if you type them into the Search, will ping back content. If you have a question, you need to know what you want to ask.
Here. I’ll even give you a push.
Goodluck. And again, Welcome!
