Nobody told me about this one, i found it accidentally and i guess this course is great 
http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/2391-Character-Skin-Weighting-Techniques-in-Maya
And here you can get Pluralsight subscription for FREE
In my mind this tutorial is 20 seconds long where Jeremy simply says ‘Hey guys, go use ART, it’s awesome.’
Jokes aside I watched the intro on the site and boy oh boy this could be the series that makes me subscribe. Grade A work Jeremy.
I think i need this too, hopefully there’s no catches to the free subscription
