Please recommend mapping tutorials for a fast-learning n00b!
Can you gurus link/recommend some really good Hammer tutorials? Ideally I'm looking for like a series of lessons on basic topics like setting up the editor, building architecture, texturing, lighting, scripting, etc. I'm trying to ramp up fast, and I think a well-organized site with a lot of existing content would really help.
So, what should I check out? And thanks!
Its a multiple page tutorial taking you through most things you need to know
I suggest watching this then looking through the rest of youtube for tutorials on making doors, glass... and so on.

Portal has been the first time I have done any serious mapping post source myself.
Mapster, I just watched your youtube vids and now I'm checking out a few more. Thanks! It hadn't even occurred to me to look for this on youtube.
I bookmarked the Valve wiki and Interlopers.net, too. It'll take me a couple of days to really dig into those. Thanks everybody for the help.
There are over 150 now I think!
Nicely catorgorised, and with the example VMF's aswell.
