Try the training missions first

Try the training missions, they are a free source of skill learning.

These forums are full of ideas, some good and some not so good. They are also full of experience.

Good luck and welcome to the asylum.

Have a look at that thread. Some fun careers which make the small newby ships shine. Watch Scavenger first. They are in appropriate order.

Shoot EVERYTHING!

The fact you came here to learn and not blame the game means you're already one of the top players. Hold your head high.

I'd spend a little time just observing flight mechanics when you can. As game progression goes it has the potential to be tough at first if you try to do it in an engaging manner, but you always have the option of picking off kills in a RES. Just fly to a resource extraction site that's not hazardous, and when the cops are killing a criminal, fire on the criminal when they're close to dying. Minimal risk for a bounty that'll be worth anything from 5k to 50k at the start; a slightly better site and ship, up to 200k a ship.

I remember trashing my first anaconda at the Station and getting stuck between station and some antenna. You know: it barely fits...
Instead of sending out some help the station killed me after 20 seconds.
70 days of gameplay for nothing.

BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT! MUAHAHAH!
