Inkscape Tutorials
The Inkscape community has produced a vast volume of tutorials over the years. At this writing more than 95% are made by Inkscape users, and scattered hither and yon across the internet. The only truly official tutorials are those packaged with the program, which you can find in the Help menu > Tutorials.
Official Tutorials
These are tutorials from the Inkscape project. In general, they provide the most basic or most essential information, which is needed by most Inkscape users, at some point. These are recommended for all users.
These same tutorials are also packed with Inkscape, where they are interactive. The first three are highly recommended for beginners, titled Basic, Shapes, and Advanced. Don't worry, the one named Advanced isn't really. It's an introduction to the most basic elements of vector graphics, paths. The others cover specific features, which you can use as needed.
