This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Requests for learning materials (tutorials, how-tos etc.) are off topic. The only exception is questions about where to find official documentation (e.g. POSIX specifications). See the Help Center and our Community Meta for more information." – Rui F Ribeiro, jasonwryan, GAD3R, DopeGhoti

Manual is maybe too big. If you don't know anything from them, then better is to google for "apt tutorial" or so. Your question was closed because learning materials are here offtopic (if you want to know something, ask here directly). It is the rule, there is no bad intent behind that.

But I don't get what you mean by learning topics, what is this site for? Errors and things like that.

apt-get update
updates the local package database, so that your local system knows what is available
"Run this command periodically to make sure your source list is up-to-date. "
apt-get upgrade
upgrades all the packages with-in your current distribution that need updated to current with regard to the latest that the package database has.
" This command upgrades all installed packages."
apt-get dist-upgrade
" The same as the above, except add the "smart upgrade" checkbox. It tells APT to use "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. "
