Recomedations for joomla tutorials

Hi, just seeking some advice from joomla users, there are so many tutorial sites out there, but I am looking for a manual type thing which covers joomls basics for the complete begginer. If anyone can reccomed a good site/tutorials they used that would be great,
thanks

The Joomla Quick Start Guide (PDF) I found to be quite handy with its graphical annotations. Anna's Mambo Tips also made good sense too

 

Thank you, i'll check them out.

Set up a dev server and play around with it. I learn from hands on, and this, in my experience is the best way.

This can be done very easily. Grab a standalone server and play around.

 

Here's another site that's beginner friendly. They've got visual tutorials.

BTW, you are free to ask ANY kind of info related to Joomla from me.
I may reply within 12Hours (most of the times).

 

Really I think just pouring over the FAQ's is your best bet.
