I just saw your thread and thought the same thing about the isometric style haha.
Oh I'm sorry I can't help you much with blender I used it a long time ago. And I kind of tried to remember basic stuff by memory. The guide was on a french website so I don't know if it will help.
But Blender Guru has some good blender tutorials (all videos I don't know if you prefer text ^^'):
