Hi Amaan,

And I would highly recommend taking a look at the below books.

Right now I am learning maya with this book, so far its great. It does require some prior knowledge however.

As a reference guide I would recommend the book “The Art of Maya”. It’s great for covering
essential knowledge.

--As well make sure that the book you get uses the version of Maya that you have.--

For Sites:
digitaltutors.com has some free tutorials, as well as tutorials/DVD sets you can buy
simplymaya.com has some great tutorials as well.
highend3d has maya tutorials as well (see link below)

Hope it helps,
