I am a beginner myself. I went to a sailing seminar run by the local
sailing club to get the basics (good enough to start solo sailing on the
local lake). I have also found the book "Modern Seamanship" by Don Dodds,
Grammercy Books (randomhouse.com) very helpful. The book has a glossary and
index, which are very helpful to educate yourself in 'buffet style'.
