Walkthroughs rather than reference. Each one is a routine you can follow the first time and then stop needing, which is what a tutorial should be. If you want to know how something works rather than what to do about it, the wiki is the other half of this site.

Are these tutorials up to date?

The routines described here are built on game mechanics that have been stable for years rather than on current balance numbers, so they do not go stale with each patch. Where a page cites specific figures it links to the wiki, where the data vintage is stated openly.
