I would like to mention that the Memoir class (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/ http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/) pulls together many useful LaTeX packages and comes with a terrific manual. When I discovered it, I had no knowledge of LaTeX beyond the Not So Short guide (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.p...) and a couple of semesters using article for homeworks. I found it very helpful for documents of more than a couple of pages, and even when I want to be fairly particular about a single page document such as my resume.
