I think we mostly follow wrong approach with programming tutorials. I have heard a term called "Tutorial purgatory" you may Google it. Following tutorial just for the heck of it is pretty waste of time and energy. Instead focus on projects. Having a problem to solve in front of us can make us tinker on it's available solution and that's where those tutorial come handy. What people generally follow is tutorial->projects. What we must follow projects->tutorial.

Do read more about tutorial purgatory. It's definitely eye opener.
