I use the videos that Mac provides on their websites as a first step. Then I play around with the applications. If I still need help, I buy a book. I usually have to have one of my books nearby because these aps have so much build in.

I teach a summer course for learning about how to use the Mac in the Classroom. Here's the link http://web.mac.com/alicebarr/iWeb/USMMac07/Home.html

I have used atomiclearning.com and found the brief video clips to be very helpful

I've found that learning by doing has been the best way for me and when I deliver any training to other staff I encourage them to play with the software on their computer, Mac or PC.

I've found that with iMovie especially the only way I got to grips with it was to keep doing stuff until I figured out the quickest and best ways!

Aloha Lisa,
Although they can be boring if you watch for too long, Atomic Learning http://movies.atomiclearning.com/k12/home has short video clips of anything and everything mac or pc related. Site licensing is pretty reasonable. You can also use the tutorials from Apple. Good luck.
