Yes, admittedly there is some co-ordination needed on the Continentals, but the Lycoming I find so rich it is difficult to stop, and the mixture can be brought up at leisure. Both engines can be a bitch to hot-start by the book, especially after a typical passenger pick-up of 20 minutes, so in the interest of expediency, passenger confidence and battery conservation I just use that procedure.

POH
READ THE POH AND SYSTEMS, that is the key!
Turbo planes are the same, you just have to think more ahead, move the power slowly (watch your CHT's and TIT's), 1-2 inch a minute and let a couple of minutes before you shutdown, usually done while you taxi unless you are in a very small airport.
The starting deal, read the POH and ask people about that specific model-engine, I personally start fuel injected, by priming.
I agree with 12Watt Tim, from full power for takeoff, to almost idle for landing in small increments (unless ATC tells you to do some unexpected thing) AND THINK AHEAD!
