Look at some of direwolf20's stuff, I think he does a good tutorial.

Best way I found to teach myself turtles was to download pre written programs.

Then use the edit program function to see how they are put together.

I don't know how much or how little you know about turtles, but imo the best place to start is simple movement.

For example, write a simple program to make it go forward 5 blocks. Turn once to the left. Turn a second time, then return 5 blocks.

When you have got movement sorted start adding simple things such as place block or break block etc.

Then move onto inventory management. Using it's internal inventory to select certain blocks etc.

When you have movement / tasks / and inventory learned you can pretty much do anything.

Edit: to do things like break block as I mentioned you will obviously need more than the basic turtle. ie one with a pick. But I'm sure you realise that anyway. Just wanted to be sure ;)
