A good site that I know a lot of people use is http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/
She gives a lot of great info that tells you what the settings are. It helps things make more sense so you can decide which settings to use in which situations :)
If he bought it from a camera store (not a Retain Electronics store kind of place) they typically offer a class. I have seen these classes in action, and they really do a good job teaching while you shoot. I heard one guy instructing the group a few weeks ago to get the best exposure and color, to shoot manual.
I couldn't agree more. It is also the best way to really learn. Books are good, but they may bore you. Nothing better that learning as you do it.

I have taken courses at my local community college...surfed the net and found tons of free information ~ www.digital-photography-school.com is also a good place ...and I have also gone to the local library and rented tons of books!! And Amazon has millions of books for sale!! There are tons of sources and info everywhere!! lol =) HAPPY HUNTING! ♥
365 will help -- making yourself take pictures EVERY day - I read my manual then try for the effect - multiple times. It is time consuming at first but practice is the best way to learn along with all the other suggestions given above. And remember to have fun - don't stress if you don't get the "perfect shot" at first - you always have tomorrow and the next day! Enjoy yourself
