The Official Joomla User's Guide

This link will take you to the Official Joomla User's Guide on joomla.org.  This is a PDF which you can save on your computer.    It is very nicely done, but can be a bit technical to the beginner.  This one is a "must have."

Tutorials from 15 Minute Site

The website 15minutesite is a great advertisement for Joomla by a company that does Joomla sites, and sells Joomla training. As a way of showing off the quality of their online training (done by very nice online videos), they will give you the first set of tutorials free. Then, if you like what you see, you pay a very reasonable price and you have full access to the entire tutorial library.  Even if you don't decide you want to pay for the entire library of tutorials, the free ones are well worth your while. 

Tutorials from Learn Joomla .com
LearnJoomla.com is another source of very nice online video tutorials. There is a pretty good library in place, so you will probably find something of real benefit to you there. Free. In addition, he has a good library of decent free templates
