IMHO a good way is to read the manual. ( it is free )

Get Tool and Part Setup working.

Follow the Intercon examples.

Make your own simple parts with Intercon.

Learn to read and understand the g-code Intercon is posting.

Learn CAD / CAM with a system known to work easy with centroid.

Maybe Vectric for routers or fusion 360 for mill and lathe.
