learn

I'm a .NET developer (how I earn a living). I would like to learn Ubuntu. I've installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 on my MacAir inside a Parallels VM and it runs perfectly. I'm Pumped!

Now, I'd like to find some documentation specifically for Newbs. I did a Book Search for "Ubuntu" on Amazon and didn't find much. Does anyone have any advice for me, or links to documentation specifically targeted to newbs?
