Don't overlook the included user manual. :help usr_toc will take you there. It is based on the book "Vi IMproved--Vim," which is also available free in PDF format on the Internet because it is published under the Open Publication License. The book is dated, but the manual is up-to-date and tracks with the book very closely.

Derek Wyatt's tutorial videos are good, but there is another vim video tutorial set at Vimcasts.

If you would rather read, but don't want to dig into a five-hundred page book, "A Byte of Vim" may be more manageable. Several of these resources are listed in this subreddit's sidebar.

Several books are now available that cover Vim nicely: "Learning the Vi and Vim Editors," "vi and Vim Editors Pocket Reference," "Hacking Vim 7.2," "Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Thought," and a brand new book: "Pro Vim," all available on Amazon.
