CNC turning

Having built a cnc router and retrofiting CNC to a minimill I now want
to retrofit a lathe to cnc.
I can accomplish the mechanical end of the conversion but I have never
worked with a cnc lathe or programming it.
Does anyone know of any good web sites for learning about cnc lathe
operation and programing?
Although I will most likely try to use either Lazycam or Visualmill to
generate toolpaths/G code I want to learn a little about manual
programing . Lazycam seems a bit cryptic and I will have to view the
tutorial intro a few times to see if I can figure it out. If not I
will opt for Visualturn.
I watched one of the Mach3 tutorials but was more confused by it than
when I started.
Any links and/or suggestions on how/where to learn about cnc turning
would be appreciated!
