My prof told me it's a huge learning curve. At first I'll be very confused and slow at it.

Yeah there's definitely a learning curve. A little coding experience makes the task easier. I typically give my students a template that they put their own text into that includes a peer-reviewed journal format and an example equation, table, and figure.

There's still the "not so short introduction to latex" out there that helped me learn the basics back in the day.
