I prefer this series of videos: Start with Part 1, the third video on the list.

Good Things to Remember:
 * 1) Don't cross edges (lines). Just go TO lines.
 * 2) Pushing and pulling only works on a co-planer surface (flat).
 * 3) Enter a number after pushing or pulling along with the units to change the depth.
 * 4) Infer push or pull of more than one shape.
 * 5) When you need to delete a number of steps hold the ALT key and keep hitting the BACKSPACE key.
 * 6) Zoom, pan and orbit.
 * 7) When on an edge, the pencil dot is red, green (end), cyan (middle), or black (on two edges).
 * 8) You need to have a closed shape on ONE plane (co-planer) to create a face. (Red, green or blue directions)
 * 9) You can create a face by connecting and completing edges. (Known as 'healing a surface'.)
