The built-in "help" functionality[1] is really great. C-h a will find useful documentation for what you need 90% of the time, and the manual is there for most of the rest. It's particularly useful for keybindings - C-h w for "what's the keyboard shortcut for this command" and C-h k for "what command does this keyboard shortcut run.
