+1 on read the manual.
However when I first started out the manual seemed too dry and boring and had too much jargon I didn't understand, so I liked a guidebook similar to this

Its good for having the basic functions explained in a simple way.
Then google composition rules for photography (rule of thirds!) and try to apply some of them to your photography. Although they're certainly more of guidelines than hard fast rules.
Then make sure you completely understand the exposure triangle. If you're unsure of what exactly the aperture, shutter speed, and iso are, and how they all affect each other, get googling!
I wouldn't go straight to manual, I play around with Aperture mode and Shutter speed mode first.
Also look up youtube videos for whatever your post processing program of choice is!
