I took a class on Pneumatics/Hydraulics this past summer, and my advice would be this: don't over-complicate things, but make sure you learn symbols. Draw your circuits out before trying them. Pneumatic understanding is something that can potentially be picked up very quickly. Don't be afraid to play around with your resources, but understand why certain events happen. Also, use youtube. There are tons of videos and tutorials out there.
