Hi Marcella,
I am a newbie Vue user like yourself and I have to disagree with chipp. I was completely lost with Vue and purchased the full set of training dvd's and found them very useful at understanding the program. I will agree that they are expensive,  but as far as learning from them I am happy with what I learned from them. 
I also found the tuts on the net difficult, I say if you can afford them go for it. IMO it was worth it.
