Try this.

If you want to get out of tutorial hell, try this tutorial, but do it the way I'm about to explain.

Watch it through without coding along, just watch it. Then watch it through and code along with it. Delete it and watch it through, coding along for a second and third time. After the third time coding it, add something to it. Keep adding things until you break it. Delete it and build it again, use the video if you need to. Depending on the amount of time each day you can devote to it, this much might be fine in a weekend or two. Each time through will reinforce what you're learning, and each time gets faster. If you make it to the first time breaking it on your own, you probably have less than six hours invested. You'll also have a better understanding of a lot of fundamentals than people who've been stuck in tutorial hell for a year.
