Best Max for Live tutorial?

[MatsuHiroshi]

I've been playing around with the Ableton Live 11 trial, and discovered Max for Live which in theory would let me make my own plugins to customise the DAW behaviour, which is a huge deal to me. But in trying to create my own rolling chord automator I've really struggled with things like update order.
For example when a note comes in, I split the pitch and the velocity, process them, but then when putting them back into the output sometimes the pitch comes in before the velocity which triggers the output prematurely.
The documentation is pretty good, but also very dense for learning. I've seen some youtube videos, but I'm wondering if there's a particular series/channel or other web page that's the go-to for learning this stuff?

Should be 3 parts, all in all.

I like the free Kadenze course for Max in general (not Max For Live), for learning the basics of Max itself. It does cover order of operation, I remember that.

I did a free month promo for AskVideo site (https://ask.video/), I liked the M4L courses from Rishabh Rajan there (but it is not free).

The documentation for order of operation:

Though it is better to find and open the same documentation inside Max, there is usually a link to an example patch in the top right corner (site doesn't have those), so it is better to read and do tutorials inside Max itself.

Awesome, thank you both for the links!
