As von Neumann said: "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things, you just get used to them." Getting used to something is, practically by definition, something that you can't do just by reading the ultimate tutorial. You just have to write the code, see the pattern happen again and again, and abstract it. There's no short cut. (Well...sometimes...)
