Programmers tend to assume everyone on earth knows what the home directory is, but few three dimensional people with real lives actually do. The home directory is indicated by a tilde (˜). to get to it, just double click on your boot drive icon on the desktop, select the "Users" folder, and then the folder inside it with your account name. The contents of that folder is the "Home Directory". Usually, you can also go to any finder window, and on the bottom left side will be a House symbol with the account name. Clicking on that will bring up the home directory. This all depends on how you have your system configured to display.
