Good guide, Mike. Linking to Halada's PDF is a great resource too, and of course Crazykinux's site is excellent.

If anyone is thinking about trying Eve, or is playing already but wants to hang out with other players still learning the game, join the Eve University public chat channel. They do a lot of mining operations together, and it's a good opportunity to make money and learn a lot about mining from experienced players. Eve University is an excellent first corporation for players just starting out in the Eve universe. Their forums have a ton of excellent resources about anything and everything Eve-related.
