The forums are full of tips and tricks but it is best if you just work your way though the manual and understand all the buttons. From there you need to pick a few subjects around the house and try out different settings. Move on to learning the photographic triangle of ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed and at that point you will be well on your way.
Now with that I just say welcome to a great forum full of people that will help you though your learning curve. Don't be shy. If you have a question go ahead and post it. You will get good honest answers from the helpful crew here.
