There are also great books out at your local bookstore that have great tutorials, everything from beginning interfaces, to modeling, to animation, special fx, etc.

I would suggest grabbing one of those, keep practicing, and do lots of tutorials from online.

Also, couldnt you just press "F1" and get the official Help Page from Ailas? I used that for the first two months when I had just gotten Maya 6.5
