Help with Blender 3D and Python?

I want to use blender for creating simple games, or at least learn to, a little. I would very much appreciate any tutorials/ guides on using and learning Blender Game Engine, and on Python, but only if it pertains to using it with blender. I do already know how to use blender for modeling and am fairly experienced with using it for animation, and do know how to use BGE a bit (can make movement, and such), and would appreciate any tutorials you may have. Also, as a specific tutorial I would like, if you can find a tutorial for making objects (the camera) “look around” using the mouse movements, this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your help!
I do not need SQL tutorials, thank you though…
