Below are YouTube playlist for EV3 Training. I have found these very useful for new and old members and coaches alike. 

Every time I watch one of these I always pick up something new. 

Not only does he go through the pieces and parts, he shows off general programming and how to trouble shoot problems that come up. 

W.A.F.F.L.E.S. Community Robotics has put together my favorite programming EV3 playlist so far. They cover the basic, intermediate, and advanced programming. While for some programming they never come right out and tell you how the final program should look, they do give you all of the building blocks to discover how to get there in the end. 

The Flying Penguins don't go into dept of programming. Instead they cover what each program block is and how it might be used. This is great to learning the new EV3 program blocks.
