Hello i am also a newbie in CI. I just share you how i start to learn CI.
1. First study the user_guide in CI folder .
Then go through the tutorials.
2. http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Tutorials/
3. Download the open source project like : bambooInvoice and see the code.
4. Reading the CI forum and wiki and post in the forum.

in the application folder you have to use 3 folders frequently

- controllers : here go the classes used to control the pages.
Every controller is a section of your site.
Every function is a new page except for the functions preceded by an underscore.

- models : here go the classes used to perform database actions

- views : this folder has all the files that contain html

In the config folder you have to adjust some files to get you site working

- database : if you want to use a database for your application, add your connection data

- autoload : add database to the libraries array because it doesn't load by default

- config : add your base_url

This is the minimum configuration and from here you can start experimenting.
The default controller that gets loaded is welcome, which can be changed in the config file
