I agree that the format of the walkthrough (slides, shadow, etc) should be tailored to the individual or team. For me, slides or documentation is a handy reference, but either diving in head first or shadowing someone would be my preferred way to learn.

I work more on the front-end, but we tend to have people shadow with teammates on their first few days. They can take notes, sometimes there are handouts or wiki pages to read in their downtime, but mostly its to watch and ask questions.
