CC,
The first place I always start when learning something new is YouTube. There are also a lot of free articles on cheese making that will indicate that fresh cheeses are a good place to start. I would, however, modify that statement by saying quick, simple recipes are a good place to start. Some cheese recipes make you wait overnight for cultures to work, like feta.
I actually started with the 30 minute Mozzarella Kit and was successful. Ricotta, Lemon Cheese, Paneer or any of the acid coagulated recipes are great for learning cheese making.
Learn, create good habits and have fun.
