I wouldn't count on that. It required a 90-minute video for you to get going with Wordpress. I would say, if you know some basic stuff (e.g., know how to install gem, how to write markdown/html), you can set up Jekyll in under 90 minutes:
gem install jekyll bundler; jekyll new myblog; cd myblog; bundle exec jekyll serve
Now, you have a server up and running. You can start creating a post by creating a markdown file in the _posts folder.
For me personally, it would be faster to learn any easy-to-use static site generator than Wordpress.
