Excellent post from Todd Kopriva on Getting Started with After Effects

I see evidence that a lot of people just dive into the deep end with After Effects (and other creative software). I understand the temptation to get straight to doing the cool stuff, but I always find myself guiding people back to learning the basics first because--well, to stick with my metaphor--I want people to swim, not flail and drown in the deep end. Hence this post, which I hope will give beginners a good idea of how to start learning After Effects.

And then follows on a list of great advice, hints, tips and training for beginners.

I may even have to start reading myself...
