Anne,
The best thing to start with is FREE TNTlite from MicroImages. TNTlite is designed for starters, students and small-scale projects. You can use TNTlite to learn all about spatial data analysis, GIS, image processing, CAD, and desktop cartography. MicroImages also provides around 80 Tutorial Booklets and sample data to learn geospatial concepts. They are very easy to follow, since step by step illustrated lessons are included for self study. You can take a look at TNTlite from the website: http://www.microimages.com/tntlite/
