Google language tools could have come in handy.

It's nice to see us “alienating” new users by critiquing their grammar rather than attempting to get them into the software.
In response to the original poster, there's not a whole ton of material out there, but here are some links.
Books:
http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Houdini-William-Michael-Cunningham/dp/1598630822 [amazon.com]
http://www.amazon.com/Houdini-Spot-Craig-Zerouni/dp/0240808622/ref=sr_1_1/105-9526769-0946001?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184047730&sr=1-1 [amazon.com]

I've bought the following under the “Learning material” section. Here are my comments.
The book “The magic of Houdini” is definitly the right place to start if you plan to seriously learn Houdini. It's longer than watching at some video tutorials but you'll cover a great amount of features.
“Rigid body dynamics DVD” is worth buying it if want to do FX.
“Houdini L-Systems Essentials 1” is a good DVD. I'll buy the second one when I finish the first but it's not something you should start with. Actually, this is a rather advanced feature in Houdini.
Here are other links with video tutorials but I still advise you to start with the book to cover the basis.

Hey SESI, what about a wiki section or something in this web site where anyone could post all the learning links found all around the world.
Good luck!

Thanks Alex
I've added the video tutorials section in the OdForce wiki here
http://odforce.net/wiki/index.php/ExternalHoudiniResources#Education [odforce.net]
I'm sure more can be added.
I've also created the “Learning DVDs” page.
Ciao!

I'm not sure I understand your question but if do then what I strongly suggest is always start with the fondations.
In this case the Craig Zerouni book is better when you already know the software for several weeks and want to get tricks to be more productive.
On the other hand “The magic of Houdini” IS the foundation.
