I'm new to TF2 mapping. That is to say, that I've made one shitty small map w/no models or anything (it was just a box with glass walls and spawn rooms. I actually intended it to be spawn-campable, because it's fun) and I'm looking to expand my abilities.

If anyone could direct me to some good tutorials to get past the stage I'm at (Read: mostly beginner) I'd appreciate it.

tl;dr show me some tutorials.
