DAG, you also may want to try looking for tutorials done in quicktime. That way you can watch a video and see exactly what they are doing. Also, pause and then do exactly as they do. I myself went hunting for those because I found that when some of the written ones made mistakes, they never mentioned it. At least this way you can see when they screw up and how they fix it.

A couple places that I've found to have video tutorials are:

3DBuzz.com

and
