Lynda.com video tutorial site now has iPhone app
Lynda.com is one of the best resources I know of for online video learning. They have courses covering just about anything, from novice topics such as basic Windows 7 skills, all the way to complete programming courses. You pay a monthly fee (starting at $25/mo.) and get access to their entire library of video courses to study at your own pace.One of the only disadvantages of studying with Lynda is that it's a video, so you actually have to sit in front of the computer while learning. This can get distracting (with emails and IMs coming in) or simply exhausting if you also do your day job with a computer, and then socialize on the web, and then have to study.
Lynda's new iPhone app now lets you study without having to sit at the computer. It streams the video, so you can continue from where you last left off on the PC and easily switch between PC and iPhone.
Usually, when I watch a tutorial I follow along on my own computer. I'm not sure how practical it would be to study a video without being able to do this, but the good news is that if this sort of thing works for you, you're no longer tethered to a computer.

It works for me because I can watch videos in bed, sort of like reading a book. Then if I want to do some of the exercises I can just watch the video again. But the stuff sticks by just watching it in my case, the fun ones are also the Creative Inspirations videos.
