re: CNC router or Lazer engraver ?

I have an X Tool D1 Pro 20 watt laser and need to learn how to run it. The book that came with it does not show you how to do any programming or even how to start with a project. I'm looking for local help. I bought a computer and had the guys at the store download the XCS software/ I need to find a place to set it up where I can get rid of any smoke. the you tube videos go so fast and talk in terms I never heard of. I'm an analog person so I hope I can learn this digital stuff!!!!
