Generally a good tutorial, video with keystrokes, or blog/page format as long as they have the steps, videos without editing are more likely to not miss a step. I will generally only do tutorials that seem to be along the direct task I want to do, and I'll alter it to be the task I actually want to accomplish. I'll also do 2 or 3 of them to see the task from multiple conceptual angles, it helps me to see how multiple people think about and solve an issue. I have a lot of trouble learning things that are not related to what I want to do. Not sure how I made it through college but I think I generally had a good idea how many classes applied to what I wanted to do...
