Had a quick read through, and a couple of points: front disc wheels often have different length spokes, and do need to be dished. Also need to make sure the lead and trail spokes are correct to resist disc torque and drive torque.0

i would still use Sheldon's as it is clearer.
linky below.
or buy the wheelpro book."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I learned from an article in C+ many moons ago. Have only built one wheel to completion, a rear casette, though but I know enough to correct any minor probs I might get with my wheels.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

I'l second the link to Sheldon Brown's guide, have a copy of it printed off and it helped me no end with my first build and I still refer to it now with regard to 'getting started' on a new build. Very detailled and clear guide.0

Sheldons is the best I have seen, and the one I would always recommend.
