In my experience, lots people who want to get into tuning think "what buttons do I push and in what order to make my car go faster?" That's really not a good way of looking at it.
So I have to ask: how much time are you (OP or whoever) willing to spend learning how to tune? There's a lot of basic background information you need to be exposed to kind of "get" how tuning works. What are the basic sensors used in a modern engine? Why do you need them? What are they used to calculate? What are the basic devices/actuators (injectors, throttle, AVCS cam phasers)? Why do you need them?
There's a mix of "textbook" and hands on. You need to go back and forth between the two--do a little work behind the wheel, study to understand what is happening and why. You can't spend hours and hours reading books and writeups and then immediately "get" what's going on. Nor can you just press buttons and click things and fully "get it" without some technical knowledge and theoretical understanding.
