There's no beginners guide that I'm aware of.. However we're always happy to help.
If you've got experience of using marine navigation software, or even a hardware based chartplotter, you'll be familiar with most of the concepts you'll come across in MacENC or GPSNavX, such as routes, waypoints, etc.
However if you really are a paper and charts man, then I'd suggest an introductory course in computer navigation. I'm not sure where you're based, but here in the UK, the RYA (national yachting body) do some good introductory training. I'm sure it's the same for other countries.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
