Try doing the demos. There's also a tutorial to watch in the game itself.
I am also "new" as have been away from Game Editor for awhile and have to remember stuff.
There are also some VERY helpful tutorials here--you have to look through the threads.
I found people more than willing to help and it helps them if you post a specific question, like how can I make my sprite jump.
Try to get yourself some sprites if you don't have any. You have to put something in your world. You can get some from the demo worlds and also google sprites on google. There's Reiners tilesets and others.
Tiles you can get by googling free tiles or backgrounds -- Mayang was great but her site was down last I was there - but there are many other fine places.
Here's a basics tutorial:
