Beginning Skin Development (1 Viewer)

Hello, Everyone.
I want to play around with the skins and see if I can learn some things.
I've reviewed the skins section of the Wiki and I realize I have a bit of a road ahead of me.
I've begun to look at the BasicHome.xml file for DefaultWide.
Is this the best skin to start reverse engineering so I can figure out how things work? Or is their a "beginners" skin that I could use?
I'm just starting with XML as well but it would benefit me in my job to learn it better anyway.
Thanks for your time!

I'd start not from basic home but from some plugin skin file. Most of changes will apply after reentering plugin so it's fast. Also skinners use plugin for reloading page with hotkey which name I dont remember but @catavolt does. Also we had gui controls demo plugin with all skin controls in it but i dont know if it's compatible.
