@Senni: Well it kinda depends on the 3d program you use. But for example roadkill UV plugin for Maya was working just like Blender's UV unwrap tools if i remember correctly, so i guess its not that different.
For tutorials i can suggest you great tudors; cgcookie (or blendercookie) http://cgcookie.com/
Here are some UV tutorials, can really help who really want to learn about it
.
http://vimeo.com/19049104 -Introduction to UV Unwrapping- (This one probably can help alot if you want to understand UVs and unwraping)
http://vimeo.com/10477401 -UV Unwrapping a Building- (i think that one has more than 1 tutorial, make a little search to find others)
http://vimeo.com/9866038 -UV Unwraping a full body-
Those all can help for at least understanding how UV works and how to unwrap properly. Did i tell you that Blender is great! You should try it hehehe.
@xFirestormx: I totally agree, Maya's or Blender's UI seems more user friendly to me.
