Advanced Hammer tutorial
Hello.
Let me introduce myself. My name is NeXT-Gen_P0rtal, but, if you want, you can call me NeXT-Gen. Ever since I got Portal 1 for free last year, I've been hooked. I've recently become interested in mapping, and quickly found the PTI editor too limiting. I complete Valve's Hammer tutorial, and that's all good, but didn't really teach me what I want to know. So my question is this: Are there any Hammer tutorials that go so far as advanced things such as logic gates, custom models and textures, skyboxes, etc.
I thank you for any answers.

Thanks! I think that's what I was looking for. But, It seems to me that these aren't specific to Portal 2, correct? I have to figure out how to apply these to Portal 2 models and maps?

Probably trolling right?

The hammer editor is used for basically all valve games:
* Half-Life 2 + episodes
* L4D 1+2
* Portal 1+2
* Team Fortress 2
etc.
If you download the portal 2 authoring tools from steam you will have the default assets for portal 2. Importing anything new is basically the same in each of those games.
Thanks for the replys, everyone. Why would FourthReaper think I'm a troll? I'm just a curious kid who's clueless about Hammer. Lpfreaky90, I've never played any of those other games, but I suppose it's good information to have.
Now to read up more on this, and hopefully come out with a test map soon...

The best way to learn is to do.
Oh, and read this and don't come back until you've finished it. You will be tested on this material. http://www.optimization.interlopers.net/

Oh, sorry then. 
I was just surprised by you questions as I thought it fairly easy to recognise that it was a portal 2 specific link msleeper gave you. But that's my bad maybe. 
About the quiz, I like the idea, though people should be able to check the forum for help, ofcouse, because sometimes the VDC, youtube and/or interlopers just doesn't cut it. And while I like xkcd, I think we should still allow 'noobs' at hammer the chance to post, for feedback and/or questions. No matter how much trash you might get with that, it occasionally contains a gem or two. IMO.

Ah, I see. It's okay. 
My second question was about the link msleeper referred to on that page. It had a bunch of functions and gobbldey-gook, with a list of games on the side. I just wasn't sure what it was all about.
