There is a step by step tutorial with incremental datasets and videos in the Revit LT Help.  Everythign is ths same for Revit.

Learn the "right" way first.  Can't emphasize that enough, especially if self learning and starting with experience in other software.  Bad habits can be hard to break.

@Anonymous:  my response to another forum member today: 

My suggestion would be to learn by doing.  Practical knowledge vs. theoretical knowledge.   I don't now what industry you are in, or wish to get it, but if it's say Residential/Light Frame on the Architectural side, then find a hard-copy set of Architectural Plans for a house and recreate them using Revit.  Or, if you are transitioning from AutoCAD, then reproduce a Project you did in AutoCAD using Revit.   Essentially the same design to documentation workflow.   

So basically , design your own "course"; a task -specific course using Google to search the information you need as you need it.

I made the decision 1-1/2 years ago to learn Revit, today, it's all i use.  You tube has been great, Revit tutorials are good, and asking questions here in this forum.  Dont be shy, ask .  But do some searching on your own first.  That way you will better understand how to apply the answers you get.  I also have one of the books listed in that first reply, Revit, No Experience Required.  It was very handy to get me moving and getting used to the commands.  I still refer back to it as I continue to reach for the next level with my drawings.
