Many tutorials still work, if you have something that shows Blender 2.47 or similar, the only thing that you need to discard is the "Face mode", that has been removed. Simply press "U" in a 3D View, when in edit mode, to access the UV Map menu and select the first option "Unwrap" to unwrap the model.
