Since it doesn't really seem like any has any suggestions on what to cover next:

If you're doing it aimed at complete beginners to coding, cover things like what lua is, ifs, loops, for loops, and/or tables.
If you're trying to aim it at people new to lua, cover what's different from other languages.
You could also direct them to some other sites or pages that talk about that.

As for what stuff to start putting in an addon, I'd suggest showing how to make a /slashcommand - it was extremely useful for me when starting out, and it's an easy way for the user to interact with the addon. Another option would be choosing a simple event, and doing something with that.

I'd also suggest covering /script very early - it is probably the best tool to use to start learning about addon coding.

You should also talk about the on addon loaded event. It's in pretty much every single addon.
