There's a built-in tutorial mode (takes about 45-60min) that you should go through to get started, and then you should just start editing all of your files using what you pick up in the tutorial. You'll make mistakes, discover new features, and start to understand it. You won't need to reach outside of it for new things for awhile - there's at least a few months of learning to just be had from exploring emacs.
