PID Control

I'm new to PID controlling, and am looking to learn. Anyone have a suggestion as to where to start?

As far as I understand, it seems as if a PID is to verify that a variable is actually where it's supposed to be by checking, such as rotational velocity with a motor and an encoder or angle with a drivetrain and a gyro, etc. Is that right?
