You may have noticed that in several of the postings on this site I mentioned that Linear Technology offers a free SPICE program that can be downloaded from their website. The built in help talks about some tutorials, which while I haven't reviewed in detail, look great from a cursory scan:
There are also independent user groups and forums. The one I use the most is: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LTspice/info.
As I've played around with LTSPICE, I too have created various screencast videos that show certain features. In the interest of sharing what I've learned I've included them here. Enjoy.

- Video 1 (introduction, how to move around, how to run transient [waveform] and steady-state [AC analysis] simulation:

https://pps2.com/v/s/1/ltsb.php - Video 3 (LTSPICE symbols, modifying schematic to reduce simulation time)

In this video I made reference to a spreadsheet that converts between X/R and PF, computes R, X and L values based on desired system voltage and current and much more. That spreadsheet (X over R2.xls) is attached below.
