Don't downplay this one. The Arduino is pretty simple business as long
as you  are doing relatively simple stuff.  But at that level, the
differences between on Arduino and another can be a big problem.

IMO, the best way to learn the Arduino is to simply dive right in.  I
really is pretty simple business.

SainSmart has an Arduino Uno clone they package with a bunch of parts
and have a downloadable series of lessons.  The lessons get you going
right away and are easy to follow, although the writing is horrid.  I
picked up their kit "just to see" and it does look like a good way to
get started.

Of course, if you have already decided on, say, a Due and you have some
complex application in mind, it may not be at all relevant.  Even so, if
you feel very uncomfortable simply downloading their lessons could be
worthwhile.
