jQuery has a comprehensive set of documentation - everything from specific methods with code samples to step-by-step tutorials, lots of demos, and a list of awesome plugins.
API
The bulk of the jQuery documentation is currently located within the API documentation. You can find information on every available method in jQuery, along with examples and explanations of each.
Also, you can view an interactive version of the jQuery API developed by Yehuda Katz. This version comes highly recommended.
You can also download a jQuery cheat sheet from here: page 1 page 2
General
If you're looking for a good place to start, I'd recommend taking a look at any of the tutorials, they give you a number of popular scenarios, and walk you through the process of using jQuery.
After that, you should probably check out the number of demos that exist, using jQuery.
If you're planning on using jQuery with Prototype, make sure you read this before beginning.
If you're wondering why jQuery looks so different, you might be interested in what we call Chainable Methods.
Also, if you'd like to extend jQuery to add your own methods, you'd be interested in developing a Plugin.
