There is also a series on YouTube at 
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL43F92BC4D81FF743
I think those are the same as the ones on the ETC site.

For other consoles and to really the movers, you want to just hire a 
programmer or two to tech you.
It is not something to learn overnight if you are not familiar with at 
least one of the consoles.
