I just installed wordpress on my local machine because I want to learn some basic web development tools and wordpress has all the components I want to play with. There is a lot going on when wordpress presents a page inside the browser and I would like to get a handle on all of it if possible. So do you have any suggestions on where I should get started and what beginner friendly resources are out there that don't shy away from presenting technicalities?

To get started with wordpress i would suggest starting with their knowledge base http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page. The codex is quiet useful for beginners and advanced users alike OR you may want to buy the book, Digging into wordpress by Chris Coyier. This is a very nice book for starters. It guides you through basics of wordpress from scratch.

The book is actually very well written to get started with, covering almost every thing wordpress has to offer..
