Up-to-date simple tutorial, for teaching the basics?

I want some of my teammates to learn the absolute basics of Ren'Py. Commenting, indentation, labels, jumps, calls. What's a good, up-to-date tutorial for them?

I don't think it gets any better than this. If you want your m8s to learn something specific, teach it to them. Otherwise I'd say that the days that Ren'Py has been poorly documented are behind us.
