As Brad mentioned, lshort is really useful. I read that and produced  
my first LaTeX document in an afternoon.

For TM's LaTeX bundle, be sure to watch Haris' screencasts available  
on his blog:

There's a bit of an initial learning curve, but think about it, would  
you rather write your documents in TextMate or Word (shudder)? ;)

Good luck and happy TeXing!

Best, Mark
