As a recent beginner myself. The best thing I can recommend in order to learn how to use the framework is just sit down and start coding. Look through the Documentation page, specifically the interactive examples page, look at the Cheat Sheet (and have it open as you code), and look the the presentation powerpoint on the web2py front page.
A good project to start with is a simple Registration/Login system. That will teach you about forms, redirecting, and db insert and select. The beauty about that as a first project is that you have to do a login/registration system for any project you work on as the first thing, so once you do that, you can actually continue on to build what- ever you want. If you have questions ask here, you will get answers within minutes. But don't sit waiting for an answer, keep going in your app and keep trying to figure it out on your own. IMPORTANT: if you can afford the $12, get the official manual, it makes life MUCH easier! Though you can still get by without it, depending on your comfort level with using/web development python.
