I consider landing in a slip an advanced manuever. Its easy to get confussed and there is little room for error. I don't recommend it for beginners.

I absolutely agree. In addition to the coordination problems of juggling the rudder & ailerons, the crossed controls can cause either pitch-up, which can stall you, or pitch-down, which can dig a hole. It is not a novice move & it should be well-practiced (with lots of altitude) before actually trying it on a landing..
