The User Guide is probably the best resource you are going to find if wanting to learn how CI works. A copy of the user guide is included with every CodeIgniter installation. You can access it by visiting:

http://localhost.com/user_guide

or use the hosted version

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/

Keep in mind that you may have to navigate past the base directory if you have you installation stored somewhere else.

If you want some examples, nettuts+ has a good series called "CodeIgniter From Scratch" which takes you from installation to a full web app using CodeIgniter.
