Confused as anything

Hey,

I just started my games design course at university and its based on toque, i wanted to get ahead so i bought a few core texts still waiting for them, however i have noticed there are tutorials but i have no idea how to access them do i have to buy the game first, which seems a bit silly if it is as how do i try out and engine which has no documentation tutorials? If anyone has a custom tutorial if this is the case it would be great. The engine its self as of google search seems to have little support, is this a common problem as i may think of using another engine if this is the case.

regards

ant
