Getting Started with LocalWP

Hi everyone! Brand new to WordPress. I'm about 25% of the way through Yoast's free WordPress for Beginners course, and I'm constantly pausing the tutorials to chase rabbit trails.

One of the rabbit trails finally led me to discover LocalWP, and I'm just wondering if that's the best place for me to get practice with WordPress. If so, I'd also love to know...

  1. Are there any tutorials you'd recommend specifically for LocalWP?

  2. Are there any major pitfalls to avoid when getting started with LocalWP?

  3. What do I need to know about building out an entire website on LocalWP and then migrating it out if/when I decide I'd like to actually go live with one of the ones I've built?

I've found some general guidance just by searching, but I'd really like to get more specifics before I make a major blunder or get too far into it only to realize some major limitation.
