I used no tutors or something like this. Just did two things:

1. Printed programming dvorak keyboard layout and hanged it below the monitor.
2. Changed used layout to programming dvorak so I have no keys to look
at on the keyboard.

As a first excercise then I was typing my password with 30-seconds
limit in linux framebuffer (I did not know about the limit though, but
that did not make me give up) (by "linux framebuffer" I mean kernel
<C-A-F1..6> terminals (on most systems, it is generally possible to
make X server occupy some terminal above or below <C-A-F7>)).

Was unable to complete any tutors I tried since then because they were
mostly dumb. Actually writing something useful is the best practice.
Though I know where can I find a lot of people which can type faster
then I… if they have something to type: thinking speed is more
limiting then typing speed.
