Backtesting strategies

Background: I have watched several of the beginning lectures and read a couple of the getting started articles.

Where do I go to learn how to backtest strategies? I see some forum posts with functions I have yet to see like initialize, allocate, and others. Are there any videos or articles that go in-depth to explain how to backtest a strategy idea.
