Keep in mind that you still have to solder a little bit (the misc. components, as well as the LCD). I hadn't soldered anything in quite some time (completely forgot) and I did OK. There are several tutorials out there to help you out. When you get a piece of perfboard for the transistor/diodes/resistors, get a large enough piece so you can practice in the corner a little bit before going all out on the LCD. Mine doesn't look pretty, but it's functional.
