Have you looked at the videos?

(I keep meaning to, but I haven't yet -- but there's been some very
positive responses in this group)
It might be good to tell us which tutorials have broken links or are
obviously out of date. But if they are part of someone's blog, there's
likely not much anyone here can do, unless "anyone-here" is inspired to
fork the tutorial and post the new version.
I have mixed feelings about a wiki; it is a convenient format, and multiple
contributors can (potentially) make contributions in different areas, but
it is Yet Another Thing That Can Get Out of Date. (My office has a wiki to
help us developers remember what we figured out last week, so I've seen
both the convenience and the YATTCGOoD.)
I came to Web2py with a moderate amount of HTML background, and some
class-room experience in SQL and PHP. I worked through part of the first
couple of examples, started bouncing around the book (bought the 5th ed),
and then started turning the crank on my code. So I've got some moderately
interesting queries, some services (both SOPA and JSON), and a little bit
mucking about with presentation (".odd" rules!). But I also have many
years of other types of programming, and at least half-a-dozen other
languages in my pocket, so I may not be a typical beginner. (I now
consider myself an advanced beginner.)
My two cents, and with inflation you know what that's worth ....
