I would not turn down tutorials that much. Tutorials are important and a must to watch as soon as they help newbies to get grips on how exactly programming in let's say JavaScript works. To provide general background and understand how to write code.
Once grasped, you should try on your own and go through debugging and problem solutions stage.

I am not turning down tutorials, tutorials are wonderful tools. They help expose developers to new technologies, methodlogies, and thinking like a developer. What I'm encouraging people to avoid, is Tutorial Hell, whereas they are stuck in tutorial after tutorial and are not out their building by learning. Documentation is the fountain of truth.
