I must disagree. This is one of the best basic tutorials out there and part of the idea behind tutorials for beginners is to teach the basics whether you think it's a good idea to use them or not.
I'm not saying using booleans is usually a good idea, but you might still use them for different tasks. This tutorial shows you how.
About the problem mentioned:
Try to delete the history for the objects and make sure there isn't any messed up geometry there.
I suggest you go on with the tutorial, and learn every method out there, then decide what works for you.
I can also strongly suggest Kurt's other tutorials on this site.
Hope this helps,

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.
