Resources on Maya Nurbs modeling?

Torch

Hi guys, I've been looking around for a while for some good curve/nurbs tutorials for Maya - I've only found some really old ones and wondered if there's anything more recent? At work we use Max and its got some really cool tools like sweep (where you can create a curve and form a shape along it, adjusting its height and thickness) renderable splines, etc.
I'm sure Maya has all this but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options in the surfaces menu! I'd be grateful for any info or resources to help, thanks

Sticking a bump on this in case anyone has any good answers

http://www.3dtotal.com/ has a bunch of good info in their tutorial section. Most of it while somewhat older is useful. NURBS hasn't changed that much in the past few years.
