I would recommend playing around in manual, to get a really good understanding on how shutter speed, aperture, and sensitivity (ISO) affect one another, and what affects they have on photographs.
I used to frequent Luminous-Landscape and byThom a lot (just add dot-com). Some of their technical articles helped me a bunch. Thin Hogan's site has grown and split off into different sites, so you may have to dig a little.
But like others say, go out and practice. Don't be afraid to experiment. It's much easier learning on digital (instant review, no additional cost, embedded picture info) than on film!
