Honestly, read the manual and try everything. Then practice. Don't be afraid to get creative, take pictures of anything and everything.
Using a digital SLR is completely different from a point and shoot, and you'll find so much more freedom to show people EXACTLY what you see - even just being able to manually focus your lenses opens a whole new world.
You're going to have a blast.
