Compare an article or tutorial on 'Make a Twitter clone in <cool language> in an hour!' to this 'recipe'.
No programming tutorial is going to start with turning the computer on, how to use a web browser...it's the same thing that's implied here.
If I were introducing a complete newb to cooking, the last thing I would do is have them do a whole chicken with gravy, etc.
I'd have them cook something very simple. Potatoes, chicken breast, maybe some eggs. There's a lot of things that can go wrong and a lot to learn with each of those.
