[Geowanking] Good place to start for newbies

[Andrew Turner]

This is quite a broad request - have anything more specific in mind?

Here are a couple of additional resources:

"Geospatial Analysis" book by Smith, Goodchild, and Lengley - free in  
HTML
http://www.spatialanalysisonline.com/

OSGeo GIS tutorials:
http://www.bostongis.com/TutBook.aspx

ArcGIS cookbook:
http://www.csiss.org/cookbook/

and of course - O'Reilly books
http://oreilly.com/catalog/neogeography
(look under related for great links to "GIS for Web Developers", and  
"Web Mapping Illustrated" books)
