Play with stuff for a few minutes. I found that that's the best way to figure out Blender. Once you've spent 10-20 minutes playing with it, you can look up a tutorial for the things you missed.

This is pretty much how I'm learning Blender: do random stuff to find useful things, and if you're actually trying to do something look up a tutorial.

Right click to select stuff.
S to scale objects.
R to rotate objects.
Tab to switch between edit mode and object mode.
G to grab objects and move them.
E to extrude faces & vertices.

There are plenty of great tutorials available for blender, I recommend reading Blender 3D: Noob to Pro. It has some exercises that can help you getting familiar with the interface and the inner workings of Blender.

Yep, this is a good tutorial.

G to grab objects and move them.
E to extrude faces & vertices.

When grabbing, scaling, and rotating, you can press X, Y, or Z to follow that axis. You can also type in a value that will scale/rotate/move it by that number.

Also use your numpad keys for quick movement around your scene, and I always like to model in ortho view, press Numpad 5 to toggle it, you should find it handy.

Also, EXTRUDE EXTRUDE and more EXTRUDE, having cubes stacked onto each other looks ugly and is harder to do, but a lot of people still do it. *cough*nuketf*cough*

Really, I don't use my mouse for much other than selecting, and even then it is very few clicks, controlling stuff with keybinds is much more efficient and cleaner.

On-topic: Yeah, blender site's tutorials are great.

[lolz??]

First off there's a good (but outdated) book called 'blender foundations' which is really helpful, here are some tutorial links to if you don't want to buy a book:
http://www.blenderdiplom.com/en/
http://www.blenderguru.com/
http://cgcookie.com/blender/
http://www.blendtuts.com/blender_tutorials
http://www.blendernation.com/
Also, I'd suggest not trying to learn about blender internal render engine, it's not really worth it since it's discontinued and such
