This is a good point: shooting in jpeg is a lot better for beginners. It lets you experiment and immediately see the results, without having to worry about converting from raw, figuring out the fancy software, or any other distractions like that. I always recommend that people who are just beginning do everything they can to avoid technical distractions -- learn about composition, light, color, shapes and patterns -- and then you can worry about the raw vs. jpeg problem!
