I do think the best way to learn is simply through experimentation. However, that doesn't mean some guidance early on is a bad thing (like asking for some filters to look into); there's a big difference between pointing someone in the right direction and handing them a script to use.

In some cases the person may not really want to be an encoder and can't find one, but still wants to produce a watch able fansub. In such a case, a multi-purpose copy and paste script may come in handy (along with consulting an encoder).
