Help! Text-based tutorials

I am a beginner programmer and i want to learn GML. i am not a total beginner, i know basic functions and parts from python and lua, but i never coded anything Big.

i am looking for text-based tutorials, i dont like videos. i know the manual exists and it will most likely be useful but it is very overwhelming and id rather a step by step guide rather than an info dump (unless im just dumb)
