I suggest that the next set of tutorials for you to look at is for the navigation stack: http://wiki.ros.org/navigation. The navigation stack has very extensive tutorials and is made for navigating to a point specified by 2d nav goal. Reading all of the documentation on this will give you a much better understanding of tf_frames and other basics that are necessary for successful navigation.
