Learning about Writing Algorithms

I looked at many websites which showed algorithms as they would be used in code, however as I have not began coding I found it difficult to read them and understand them. I then found this PDF: http://www.teach-ict.com/contributors/Ritchie_King/Writing_Algorithms.pdf which teaches the very basic way of writing an Algorithm. I used this to help write my Algorithm for my handmade A3 creation.
