I just recently started a site dedicated to HD video tutorials for the Valve Hammer Editor.
It includes both basic and advanced tutorials for the Valve Hammer Editor in general along with more specific tutorials regarding Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and soon Portal.

Some HD Videos I made for people to start mapping for HL2/Source using the Valve Hammer Editor.
These Beginner videos pretty much cover everything you'll need to start building/mapping for any Source engine game (Portal, TF2, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike, Day of Defeat).

Added a 3rd tutorial.
Thanks for the feedback Unarmed.
I don't think it's really too long. In less than 10 minutes you can have a map made, compiled, and in game. That's pretty awesome for a beginner to do.
Having the compile settings set to fast is the best way to do it in almost all...
I'm starting a set of tutorials for beginners. I will also do some tutorials that have to do with specific things in the editor, but for now I'm going to start with beginner tutorials.
