You can ignore the first article about component selection as it is dated. But the other 3 articles are very good and have clear instructions.
Yep. Did this last week on the first of a new set of wheels, but in my case I was off one spoke hole on the third round. Easy enough to fix once I saw the issue. Having built hundreds of wheels as an amateur, I generally don't make this mistake; however things happen when you don't pay sufficient attention. I did not make the mistake on the second wheel.
Good luck
