Default interplay of hooks with the functions.php file and which areas of the theme thy effec

Hi Gary
Glad you explained that the tutorials over on Nick's site are not aimed at beginners, I was thinking that perhaps it was just me!

I'm new to Genesis but I've been all over the forum and read what I can and I've got to the point where I'm beginning to know what I don't understand about Genesis.

I know some html and CSS and I understand that a general Wordpress theme is made up of header.php, sidebar.php etc.
Genesis has all these elements plus the files associated with the Child theme you are using.

For instance the Enterprise theme has a home.php and a functions.php.

As I understand it, the home.php will become my home page and if I want to make changes I use Hooks in the functions.php.
I never touch the Genesis files.

If I'm right in what I've said about how Genesis / child themes work, tutorials on the interplay of hooks with the functions.php file and which areas of the theme thy effect would be very useful.

Cheers Gary
